Hobbies & Interests
As my children are young, I spend a lot of free time with them and their activities. Many hours are spent at softball practice and games with my daughter. I enjoy gardening, but I believe that the small woodland critters enjoy my veggies and fruits the most. If I do have some free time, I indulge myself with a mystery or romance novel.
