Enjoy taking pictures but I'm not a photographer.

Enjoy leaving on vacation without any reservations, go by the seat of my pants, never vacation during the high vacation season. And stay off the interstate system.

Visting out of the way places and going into small towns and talking to the people of that area.

Very selective about what foods I eat. And avoid snacking between meals. Once and awhile I give in to snacking, not often.

Never drink soda pop or purchase candy.

Walk two miles daily, one in the morning and one in the evening with wife, rain, snow, hail, sunshine, hot. But would drive a car from the livingrooom to the bathroom if I could get it into the house.

Favorite Quotes

Go, eat your bread in gladness and drink wine in joy, for your action was long ago approved by God. Let your cloths ALWAYS BE FRESHLY WASHED and your head never lack ointment. Enjoy happiness with a woman you love all the fleeting days of life that have been granted you under the sun. Whatever it is in your power to do, do with all your might. For there is no doing, no learning, no wisdom in the grave where you are going. Eccl. 9:7-10 I have lived by this for all 48 plus years of our marriage.
