What I do for fun!
"I love puzzles, jigsaw and crossword and suduko. I am an avid quilter and reader. . I especially enjoy urban hiking, aka walking in the neighborhood, and my weekly goal is 20 miles per week. My four grandchildren are my utter delight and they have profoundly taught me about God's love."
