I love books, and I am an avid reader and book collector. I volunteer with my local friends of the library. I crochet and would like to learn knitting and maybe quilting. I have 2 cats, but I like dogs as well. I enjoy nature, walking, and bird watching. I'm an avid journaler. I love chocolate and coffee, preferably dark. Not much for cooking in general, it's hard to do when there's only one person in the house. Don't watch a lot of television. I enjoy learning new things.
