FrannyOakley's profile

Gardening, reading, sewing and other needlework and crafts, Bible study, playing with my grandchildren. Sports I enjoy are college basketball and football, and sometimes baseball. I also like swimming and boating.

Church, campus ministry, other local causes.

A variety of styles, from classical to C&W to 40s Swing & 50s oldies , but nothing metal or rap.

Documentaries on almost anything, Jeopardy, and the Law & Order, CSI types.

Don't watch movies much, but enjoy light-hearted fun movies, musicals, and many of the old classics.

The Bible and related books, self- and world-improvement types and biographies. I'm a very curious person.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Your actions speak so loud, I can't hear your words. As the twig is bent, so grows the tree. (Children learn what they live.) If you meet someone without a smile, give them one of yours. More later...........
