Marilyn's Story
I am a busy wife to my equally busy husband Erik. He is busy working at his job while I keep things running around the house, including the garden (I grow our vegies and mow our lawn and actually enjoy it--surprised myself) and the home repairs that I can do, so that when he is off work we can play.
Play includes at least 4 nights of dancing a week. We square dance two nights a week. One night at Plus level and one at Advanced. We take round dance lessons two nights a week. Round dancing is ballroom dancing with a cuer. The whole floor of dancers does the same step at the same time. We are learning waltz, foxtrot, twostep, slow twostep, tango, mambo, cha cha, rumba, jive, swing and salsa. The dance lessons feature one type dance at a time with review of the others we have learned. On weekends we frequently go to another dance or even a 3 day dance festival somewhere.
We love to travel and ...Expand for more
try to go somewhere new every year. We love to camp and just sit and read or take a hike. We also try to spend a weekend away from home every month. We go camping, to dance festivals, and visit a city or state we have not been to in a while. This is easy to do with our big family living in 3 different states.
We both are licensed Ham Radio Operators although we rarely have time to enjoy that hobby right now. We also enjoy digital photography (trying to outdo each other by taking the best picture), reading, trying new restaurants, doing things with our friends, and geocaching, among other things.
I am the mother of 10 children. They range in age from 49 down to 25. My husband added 2 kids to our collection and we also consider my niece to be one of our kids. Most of the children are married and together they have given us 30 grandchildren and 2 greatgrand children. They keep life interesting for us.
