4. Garden
5. Read
6. Amusement park roller coasters

8. Watch movies
9. did I say read?

Whats your favorite movie, Ellen?
And where have you travelled to that you have liked the best?
Have you ridden Amtrak anywhere?

hugs, train

Ten things I like to do:
Walk
Read
Go to the movies
Go to Concerts
Spend time with my dh and dks
Write
Work on hobbies
Kayak
Visit my extended family
Spend time with friends

There are many more things I like to do but I think these are my favorites. Some of these things I have always loved to do but some are new (like I am just learning to kayak and I have lots of new hobbies)

Ellen, I love to write, make jewelry, scrapbook, kayak, read, creative journaling, garden, am trying to teach myself how to knit, and have many other things I would like to learn some day like ASL, how to draw or make pottery (though I am not very talented I would love to become more artistic) etc.

Ellen, perhaps you should try a different kind of kayak. There are kayaks that you sit on top of rather than in that are also fun. (I have tried both and liked both) I am a beginner and still learning but think I like kayaking better than canoeing. Nice to know someone who likes some of the same hobbies I do. Not many of my friends like those same things.
