I enjoy scrapbooking, photography, gardening (but not weeding), spending time with my beautiful grandchildren and their parents. I'm trying to learn how to edit and manipulate my digital photos. I am a retired teacher, without retirement benefits. That means I just quit ! I spend my time spoiling grandkids and taking care of my hubby and hanging around the pool we put in after Hurricane Rita.
