I love swimming, but my hands and shoulder won't let me to that anymore. I am thankful that I am still able to walk and do some yoga.

I used to love to needlepoint, but can no longer do it. I love to read, but was having trouble holding books. Last year, I got Kindle Oasis and I am able to use it on a lap desk. Love to be able to read again!!

I read a great deal. I use an iPad because I can make the print larger and I use a stand so my head and neck are not bent over and my hands are free.

I also love nature and am an avid bird watcher. I have 8-12 bird feeder out depending on the time of year.

I live on a third of an acre that backs out onto a park and nature preserve. I love gardening and am growing mainly native plants and ones that feed birds or pollinators.
