Hobbies

My ideal day, outside of teaching, is fishing on a river or lake with my family and friends. I enjoy reading young adult fiction, historical fiction, and picture books. My husband and I enjoy Halloween a great deal. All year, we plan for the next year's Halloween party. We buy things from garage sales and build sets. Sourdough bread...yes, everyone was baking during COVID. I got a late start on sourdough, but I love it!
