I love to go hiking with my friends and my brother (my brother is a real hoot and one of the smartest and most interesting people I know). Taking a drive to the mountains and then getting out, smelling the fresh air and the moist earth and the pine needles is truly exhilarating to me.
I also love to take photographs, just about any place I go. I always have my camera in my bag, because I never know what weird, beautiful or one of a kind thing I will find.
Cooking and trying out new recipes and searching for recipes (vegetarian ones of course) really floats my boat. I love to make stuff for my friends and neighbors and see their faces light up.
And I love to take day trips. Me and my brother try to take a day trip to a town or city or natural park type of area that is within 3 hours driving time one way every few months. We’ve seen marvelous architecture, public art, interesting people and beautiful landscapes and scenery. We’ve eaten our way across hundreds of miles. Checking out new restaurants or revisting old restaurants from our childhood is a marvelous joy to us.
I love going to the movies and out to eat. I also love to pack a semi-fancy picnic to eat in the woods or the desert or the mountains (or if I’m lucky, in the snow).
Anything and everything that has to do with Halloween and Christmas is extremely satisfying for me and my family.
