Eclectic - I like almost anything but blues - who needs an entire genre of pity party music? Some fine examples of what I like can be found in my playlist ~

Reading, Writing, Learning, Studying my interests like languages and wines of the world (especially those in my own backyard), Amatuer Photography, Crochet (all needle arts really, but they hurt my hands more as I get older), Touring vineyards and wineries, Tasting new wines, Meeting other wine lovers, Collecting all manner of elephants, wine stoppers and shot glasses.

YES! I REALLY do have 8 sons. I gave birth to every one of them and my husband of 27 years, Jerry, sired them all. At this point, four of them are grown and on their own. Oldest son is 24, lives 15 miles away and works in town. Second son is 23, married 3 years to his high school sweetheart and currently serving in the USAF.
Third and fourth sons are 22 and 20 and both are serving in the US Navy.
So I'm gradually adapting to a half empty nest. Or maybe it's half full? My interests are vast so I guess that makes me just plain curious. I love to learn new things, meet new people, see new places and taste new wines. I'm a full time Mom and homemaker but being Mom always comes FIRST! There will always be tasks that await me but children grow up when you're not looking so I keep my focus there! I am a christian but my beliefs are my own and I prefer not to discuss or debate them with people who feel an obligation to save my soul! Sell formal religion somewhere else ~ Church is for folks that are not secure enough in their beliefs to stand alone and need validation from a group of likeminded people. I love music and play two instruments fairly well (guitar and piano - in that order)and a few that are not that serious, like a mouth harp and a kazoo and a tin whistle. I LOVE to read and prefer fiction of a sci-fi fantasy nature. I like themes of time travel and things that would never actually happen. I also love a book that is tongue in cheek with LOTS of humor and satire - Piers Anthony and Terry Pratchett are among my favorite authors. Anything else will have to wait until it occurs to me to write it ~
