I do a lot of reading, but virtually all of mine is fiction. One non-fiction book I read not long ago that was truly outstanding is Valley Forge by Bob Drury. I learned so much from that book.

Not sure what your taste runs to in viewing, but some of my favorite series on Netflix are: Call the Midwife (arguably the best TV show ever), Gilmore Girls, Schitt's Creek (laugh out loud hilarious), Longmire, and Criminal Minds.
Patty, I have watched the first three shows of Call the Midwife - I am hooked! I am fussy about what I watch - and this show is quality! Thank you so much for the recommendation!

This is not a "group" site. On Empire Casino Online you play the game against the computer. There is no chat. Of course, they try to push you into buying tokens and they don't come cheap. They do give you free tokens at different times but are not extremely generous with them at all. I've been playing on this site for years and I do make it a point to sign in every day and then every four hours to get the free coins.

I'm so glad. This is a show that just gets better with each season, and it's so timely with its choice of topics in each episode. Happy viewing!

There is not one single episode, storyline, or character that I did not like. The 11th season is this year, and I hope this show goes on for decades, like some shows have.

Every Christmas they have a special episode, and every Christmas you can find me watching PBS, lol

It's like Santa has come!

I love watching YouTube videos. Erin says they rot her brain, but I find them entertaining. My current favorites include Vice Grip Garage, Hindley Street Country Club, and Lexington Lab Band. I enjoy fixing cars. Let me state that another way, I don't like paying someone else to fix my car. So, I also watch a lot of car repair videos on YouTube.

My hobbies include genealogy and local history. I have traced my family tree back to 1550 in Germany, and 8 generations of Huffstetler's have lived in this area since the early 1800's--within a 5 mile radius.

Pre-pandemic, I enjoyed yard-saling and thrifting. I can't wait to get back to it.

Yes, what Aaron said! I miss my pre-pandemic activities. I do still get together with a friend once a month but scheduling that is hard. I am usually too tired to do anything during the week and she doesn't want to get together on weekends because she is busy tending her grandson or spending time with her husband - and that is understandable.
