i am 71 run the household here and my hobbies are shopping,knitting,preparing the daily main meal in which we always make it very attractive and it is a big highlight of our day. i do have a cleaning lady for the heavy work bi weekly. this really helped me not to be so bogged down. i am an avid reader of history and true crime stories. i watch america's most wanted. we have a daughter in western canada whom we visit about once a year. we have two wonderful grandchildren who make our day when they visit. we have a son in bahrain who we see at least once a year. he must have picked up the reading from me because he teaches at a university. we have travelled all over the worlld both for work and pleasure. we both find that seeing new countries and experiencing their cultures has been most interesting. i am involved in community events and politics. our lives are full for sure. jessie

I'm normal!

(or so I like to tell myself!) I have two teenagers, both born post-pm. They are both band geeks so much of my week is marching practice and music lessons. I own a business managing/developing websites for nonprofits and professional associations. I love to hike and ski and do Crossfit and rollerblade and kayak. I am a Girl Scout leader so I often find myself in the woods with a dozen teenage girls. I'm active in an animal rescue group, do their website and newsletter and occasionally foster. When I sit still, I love to read and cook.

Too busy!

I have an elderly husband with dementia so I run the household, supervise him and try to manage my life. I have a pacemaker, almost 5 years, few problems, just less energy and more fatigue. I am elderly also, which is part of the explanation, so that is limiting. I did have hobbies: art, beading, weaving and knitting for which I no longer have the time or energy. I do read and spend time on the computer. I wouldn't consider my life the usual, though, just indicative of my age group.
Everyone have a great holiday!

I am busy as well as my arthritis
