I enjoy being with people. I spend a lot of time with my family -- my parents, my children and grandchildren. (We don't get together with the siblings as often as we'd like because they all have their own families.) We always enjoy getting together with friends -- both the church friends and the SCA friends. Then there are the people I meet through my volunteer work: the Food Bank clients and the ESL students, and the people who call on Dirk with their automotive problems. Oh, and I almost forgot my Sunday School kids! (Yes, I still enjoy teaching.)
I enjoy my dogs, Pepper and Parker. We have small dogs now (downsizing) but I still "have" to go for a walk or two every day, and that's a good thing (as I keep reminding myself while the weather gets colder).
I enjoy my time spent alone, working on my hobbies. I know I have too many hobbies and too much "stuff" associated with each hobby but for now we have the room to accommodate my pack-rat habits (and Dirk's pack-rat habits too).

| I visit my parents at least once a week. Often they "need help" with a puzzle. |
 |
| Sometimes my grandchildren help me with dog-walking. |
 |
| The medieval cooking group met at my house to plan Yule Feast (with home-made sausages) |
 |
| I've been doing some inkle-weaving. |
 |
| I've been buying books….. some are easy reading and some are definitely not! |
 |
| Then there's the sewing…. slowly working my way through the fabric stash (and buying more fabric, shhhh!) |
 |
| Brewing also takes up time and space |
At the end of the day it's good to sit down with a glass of wine. I make a lot of wine (with some help from friends) but much of it is given away to family and friends. To me, wine is symbolic of good times and abundant blessings -- which I love to share!
