Hikes in the mountains, swimming in the ocean, dancing, laughing w/husband/friends at stupid comedies, cards in the Post from old college pals, petting dogs (we have cats & I love them but meeting people who are walking their dogs is great)

My cat, Poe cheers me every day. My grandkids, my son and daughter, and especially my brother. I also love a walk along the beach, no matter how the weather is.

Redoing my hair. I just tried to dye it lighter, but it came out darker! What the hay! I'll try even lighter next time. Also psychic shows on Friday nights. Playing with my ferrets. Going to the humane shelter to look at dogs. Any thing animal. Eating chocolate. Romantic movies.
