I love nature and all that, that entails. Long hikes through the woods, kayaking on a beautiful lake or river, my horse, Aspen and the many rides we’ve taken and even the falls I’ve taken and the lessons I’ve learned through those. I love just going to the park, sitting on a bench and listening to kids laughter as they play. I love reading. I love snuggling up to a good movie on a rainy afternoon or evening. I love spending time with my young adult children. I love listening to them engage in conversation with one another. I love playing board games and laughing over those. I love spending time with my parents and my siblings. Oh, the laughter we have together! I’m so blessed by my family. I love my golden retriever Sunny. I believe God created animals to bring us joy. And these are a few of my favorite things.
