How I Spend My Free Time:
The majority of my free time is spent savoring
the early/formative years with my daughter: craft and science projects, book writing projects, newspaper articles
(my daughter is now a Junior Reporter for the Southeast Missourian), swimming,
horseback riding, camping, roasting marshmallows, and, of course, reading to her, and listening
to her read to me.
