I posted photos on this blog and talked about how the time away refreshed me. So, perhaps travel is my current hobby. I need something else though. Something that isn't as involved. I do walk most days and love getting exercise, but that's more of a "have to" rather than for pure enjoyment. <br /><br />There never seems to be enough hours in the day...Debby Giustihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463321611980242375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-41425819761715222272018-05-02T12:43:32.275-07:002018-05-02T12:43:32.275-07:00I like to crochet, sew, cook, embroider, and I lov...I like to crochet, sew, cook, embroider, and I love puzzles, especially word puzzles and jigsaw puzzles. I spent many hours working jigsaw puzzles with my grandparents. Now I can work them on my iPad and not worry about what to do with the finished product. LOL.

I also think it’s important to take time away from your responsibilities of life. In fact this coming weekend I’m going on a writer’s retreat with 20 other writers and it’s just a time to recharge and work on my stuff, brainstorm together, walk on the beach and hopefully laugh a lot.Terri Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18162233044268346894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-86494491394517389622018-05-01T07:56:33.190-07:002018-05-01T07:56:33.190-07:00Lisa, I've tried a lot of crafts over the year...Lisa, I've tried a lot of crafts over the years but settled on quilting, which I love.

I crochet, too, and have a baby shower this month. Last month I bought the yarn, and I've got the favorite pattern picked out.
