I am married with children and grandchildren, and at present, one dog. I love to be outdoors in my garden, walking, visiting with friends, reading, knitting, swimming, bird watching, writing letters, and also listening to music I am happiest doing simple things such as going on a picnic, walking by water, or in the woods. Winters are too long in my part of the world, but I try to get out and enjoy the bright cold days, and enjoy feeding and watching the birds. I am also taking part in Project Feederwatch in the winter
