very busy doing my artistic work, oil, acrylic and water color painting... Then I do work around my lake, cutting down trees, planting new trees. Landscaping with large rocks etc. I enjoy moving things around with my Catapiller Skid loader. I also like working in my shop, welding and fabricating something. I do my auto maintenance on my old cars as well ! When did I ever find time to work? !
I love to fish,sky,snorkel, surf and also just swim.
. One of my favorite things to do is hang-out with my grand- children! However they are out growing there PaPa! We do enjoy ice skating together.
I build computer equipment and trouble shoot computer related software and electronic equipment as a side occupation and for friends and family as a hobby.
I moved to Indiana after high school and very much enjoy life away from the city.
I enjoy an occasional get together with family and or friends.
I am guilty of never going to any school reunions but will attend any future events.
I am truly Blessed and highly favored!
