Boating, traveling,reading and gardening.

We go to different resorts in Mexico several times a year and do lots of sightseeing, snorkeling, and relaxing, We have a tritoon and enjoy going to the lake and pulling the grandkids around on a two man tube or it's just the two of us and we find a cove and just drift and read. Working in my flower beds restores my soul. Love getting my hands in the dirt and trying different cottage gardens.
