I thought this would be a nice change of pace to get our minds off our pain and worries.

We can post a question once a week with the Get to know me... as a subject. Anyone can ask a question. Since we are all here for each other I thought we could get to know each other a bit better?

So here's my question:

What is your favorite hobby or thing to do, either for yourself or family, friends, etc.?

" Ironically, given the day, I enjoy cooking a good meal for my family. It is tiring, no doubt (especially today) but it is very rewarding and makes me very happy.

I also like going up to my hubby's radio station(s) and voicing/producing ads when needed. It keeps my hand in something I love to do and the station gets professional service for free. "

" I've never cared much for reading. Or cooking/baking, I only enjoy the end result. I however do enjoy music, and when RA will let me, I love playing the piano/guitar/flute/clarinet/saxophone. If not, I enjoy listening to country music (very odd in my area), as well as classical music. I love being with my children and hubby. I LOVE to hear my boys laughing. "

" I love spending time with my 2x dogs, 2 x cats, 3 x cockatoos and 1 x "grumpy" husband.
Also enjoy glass engraving and collecting unique/interesting pieces of glass and crystal.
Gargening, and growing my own vegies is my psychotherapy, but it's getting a bit hard now.
I am a novice water deviner - still on L plates.
I enjoy beachcombing, bushwalking, watching the sunrise (cause I can't sleep usually) and gazing at the stars above. "
