So here's what I really enjoy doing: hanging out with my children (I homeschooled them for a number of years), cooking and entertaining at home, listening to music (I tend more towards older rock/folk and love music from the 30s and 40s). I enjoy a good bottle of wine but can never seem to remember the label. And I LOVE a good bottle of champagne and can always conjure up a good reason to pop a cork. I enjoy a good book on history and believe that every home library should include a copy of Howard Zinn's A People's History of the US. I've pretty much read everything David McCullough has ever written. I guess I'd have to say that my favorite genre is 20th century biographies. Family is really important to me. I like mine and appreciate how fortunate I am in this respect. I know that you can't pick your family, but it is really important that the person I am with is connected to whatever family they have.
