25 Random Things

Current mood: happy

....................

1. I love tide pools.

3. Some day I will learn how to play the violin/fiddle. It’s
on my bucket list.

or from the market & display them all around the house.

7. One of my favorite places to be is our garden admiring
the beauty.

8. Baking & cooking is one of my passions. Now if only I
can eat in moderation 75% plus each week. It’s all about making a choice.

9. I’m very fortunate to be married to some one (Steve Rhoades.)
that really appreciate & passionate about music as much as I do. We
certainly love going to a Live/band show as much as we can possible. All depends on time & money.

first Dodgers game. Go Dodgers!

12. I enjoy getting my toe nails painted.

13. I love going on picnics.

14. My favorite great outdoor activities are biking, boating
or sailing, camping, fishing, hiking, horse back riding & sports.

15. For awhile I thought of deleting my four season’s blog
account, but recently I decided against it.

16. Every year I have to sale or give away some of my least
favorite books in order to make room for new books. Believe me it’s not an easy
task for me to part from my books.

17. I love the beach & learning much as I can about
marine biology.

23. I prefer driving a car with manual than automatic.

24. I love going to Farmers’ Market, Swap meet, arts &
crafts shows.

25. Our walls in our house are bare. After the house expansion
& remodeling, we just ran out of energy. We have pictures/art in frames; we
just have to get around in securely placing them on the wall. So hopefully real
soon our walls won’t be bare for too long
