My #1 hobby is cross-stitch; writing letters brings longtime friendships. I love to bake/cook, watch old horror movies from years ago, walks on the beach, meeting friends, gardening, reading mystery & romance novels , making quilts by hand as a gift is much more appreciated that you make yourself; I belong to a stitchers group; butterfly/bird watching, photography & nature, coffee drinker, stickers, stationery and colorful pens, I have two little dogs who I love; also, two budgies. I was a caregiver for mom but she was able to go back to her apartment after rehab.
