Sweet Adelines International (women's barbershop harmony). During the 25 years I was a member, I sang with two choruses and active on the regional level. Unfortunately due to the traveling involved, I've given up being a member of a chorus, but I still follow them and still have many Sweet Adelines friends all over the USA.

Cross-stitching and ceramics.

Computers. My nephew Andy says I'm one of the more literate computer illiterates he's met! Some of my systems analysts have put it a little differently by saying I'm knowledgeable enough to be dangerous.

Raising my precocious Bichon Frise named Tucker and doing pet therapy work with him. For those of you who remember Murphy the buff colored Cocker Spaniel. Murphy died February 16, 1996 of hypothyroidism and Myasthenia Gravis. McGyver then came into my life at the age of two. He was a black and white party Cocker Spaniel. McGyver died August 3, 2009 of old age. McGyver and Murphy's photos can be found on their own webpages.

Walking and camping and following my favorite ISU Cyclones sports.

Baking, especially homemade bread. To see a picture of what the cookie looks like, click on Santa Cookie.

Reading, mainly historical and romance novels. (Hey! When you sometimes edit all day, you need "no brainers"!!)

Watching my favorite soap operas. (Young and the Restles and the, Bold and the Beautiful.)
