    Now I find it takes most of my available time and I love it.
    Interests When I find the time, I like gardening although the challenge is getting the better of me.
    When asked I work at the local theatre making costumes and helping backstage dressing the actors.I enjoy being part of the whole theatrical scene.
    Hobbies I have just started scrap-booking to make a family history book for the grandchildren
    Music Rod Stewart, old rock and roll songs and the new American Songbook CD's. I saw him live last year, fantastic.
    Movies I don't go much but I like anything with Dame Judi Dench, apart from that its visits with the GS's, usually Harry Potter and other 'boy' films.
    Vices Dark Chocolate and red wine, shoes and rings.

    Oh what a grey day!! Its pouring with rain and blowing a gale, not the kind of weather a sensitive soul like me goes out in. So today seemed like a good day to get to grips with the various aspects of the QMB2. So I have changed my profile photo and edited my 'friends',looked at the possiblity of filming a bit of video on my digital camera and now I'm posting a blog. Oh what fun.

    Hi Maggie ~~ It's a gloomy day here in New York also. We've had snow flurries off and on all day. I did see my first robin yesterday, so I am hopeful that spring is nearby!! I'm also interested in scrapbooking. Duchess Saundra is hostess of a scrapbooking group here on the QMB2 that you might want to join. I have been painting birdhouses this weekend, one for our yard and three for gifts. Nice to see you here on the QMB2! Take care ~~
