Things I Love
I love books. The bookcase belonged to my grandmother. The Snoopy was my mother's. I'm a cat person, but I do like dogs. The angel, flag and photo are memories of and for my late husband.

Friends or sometimes family will build a fire a hang out around it. Sometimes you roast marshmallows or hot dogs but sometimes you just have fun. I had this bonfire with friends at a lake.

Going to watch the NSO is something that I love to do! The view from the terrace where people wait before the shows start is beautiful and the orchestra never fails to take my breath away.

My friends and I used to go to the park all the time! We’d walk there and then spend hours talking and walking the trails. When I have the time and energy I still walk there sometimes :,)

I love going on scenic drives. Here in Utah there are a few wonderful places to see. It is amazing to drive and view the mountains especially when the sun is setting. Note: not my image

This is a picture of me and my bf underneath a tree, believed to bring good luck to couples who pass underneath it. Someone else took the picture without us knowing as my bf tied my shoe.

We pile up a bunch of wood. It doesn't matter much what kind. Then you stand around it as it burns. You can have music and games and food. Normally enjoy it from the tailgate of a pickup.

In Southern areas of the United States, specifically Atlanta, Georgia, skating is a large part of the culture. I bought personal skates for myself and go skating once a week with friends.

I love cinema! The popcorn, Milk Duds, soda, and the big screen! All accompanied by the enrichment of a room of movie lovers reacting to the thing that has united us for the experience.

I absolutely love listening to music. I think it’s an amazing way for me to step away from reality and into my own world. I usually am listening to Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, or Clairo.
