I love music, there is so much creative talent out there, music for any and all occasions. I love to come home pour a fine glass of wine and strum on one of my four guitars, and pretend I am a rock star. My number one fan is my little dog Harley. She looks at me with her ears perked up and with her sweet dark eyes, not sure what she is thinking ,but I always tell her I won't quit my day job. I also have a drum set that is very theraputic and fun to play. Growing up I was never big on reading but now I try to read as much as I can. I want to keep the brain synapses sparking for as long as I can. The dictionary has become one of my favorite books. Not only am I trying to keep my mind active but my body too. I love a good game of basketball, tennis, raquetball, and volleyball with my homegirls. The gym has become my place of meditation if you will. Dancing is always fun! I want to travel more.
