Reading, traveling, crocheting, and spending time with family.

I am an avid reader. I love to read all genres. The thing I enjoy about traveling is seeing new places, meeting new people, and trying new cuisines. I enjoy crocheting because I love to make things for others - especially something that is useful like a scarf, an afghan, etc. Family is very important to me and spending time with my family is priceless. I love family time with a delicious meal, telling family stories, and singing family favorites.
