I love live music, any type of outdoor festival, traveling, especially to other countries with different cultures and beliefs. I enjoy going to the movies but don't like violent films. I love to draw and read. I do a lot of crocheting, especially now that I am going to be a grandma.I also like making crafts that I can give as gifts.

He was so brilliant and funny. He could also play the bongos which is so cool!

Thanks
Thanks for this - sounds like you had a great weekend. I'm going to check out the music link tomorrow. (And I did have a great time splashing my the pool and wore sunscreen although it's easy to stay out of too much sun in their yard - ha ha),
