Other interests of mine include quilting, reading books, hiking, fishing and snowshoeing.  I quilt mainly in the summer.  I am fascinated with quilting because of the math involved in the design and construction of the various patterns.  Reading is another of my passions.  If I can't read books then I listen to them as I travel.  I love to read or listen to new phrases, thoughts and ideas.  Hiking and snowshoeing fulfill my adventurous nature.  I intentionally hike and showshoe off trail in hopes that I will be granted the opportunity to see sights and animals not often viewed by others.  Fishing is my last love.  I am a 'catch and release' fisherman.  I fly fish and use bait; however, this doesn't include squishing worms on a hook!
