 Family
To see a drawing of my family click here. These
days my house is very quiet. Our boys are grown
and live on their own. Our oldest son is married and
expecting his first child this spring. Our youngest son
is moving to Georgia until May to do an internship at
the University of Georgia.

 Hobbies
I have several hobbies. I really enjoy cooking. I
usually do not do any grilling. I also like to bake but
not as much as I enjoy trying out new recipes.
Another hobby I enjoy is reading. I try to read a
book a month. Sometimes I read more, especially if
it is one I can not put down. Then I have been
known to read a book in a day!
My last hobby is crafting. Most of the crafts I
make are themed around the holidays. I have made
wall decorations and even a headboard.

 Movies
I really enjoy watching movies. Depending upon
the time of year I go to the theater often or rent
them to watch them at home. I enjoy comedies, love
stories, suspense as long as they are not gory or
scary. My youngest son and I have seen every Harry
Potter movie in the theater after reading each of the
books. I also saw all the Twilight movies with a
group of friends after we all read the books. Now I
am watching the Hunger Games series in the
theaters after reading each of the books. I enjoy the
movies but the books are always better!

 Food
I already mentioned one of my hobbies is
cooking. I love to look at cookbooks and find new
recipes. I can only think of a couple of times that I
have made something that Mr. Hummer and I
decided it would not be something to try making
again. I probably have more than fifty different
cookbooks. Some are just for desserts and others
are just main dishes. I have even had magazine
subscriptions that are to cooking magazines. Now
with the internet available I have so many recipes
that I don’t have enough time to make everything
that looks and sounds good to me. We do have our
favorites and I try to make at least one of those a
week. Eating diner as a family is something I learned
from when I was growing up. As a child my family
ate dinner together every night and most morning
we ate breakfast together too. That is something
that Mr. Hummer and I have passed along to our
children. If you like cooking you may want to check

 Sports
I have always been interested in all sports, since
I was little. I guess that comes from being the only
girl in my family and being the youngest. I enjoy
playing all types of sports much more than watching
them. I do not play football with the equipment, but
I do play catch in the yard. My favorite professional
team to watch is the Cleveland Browns. I even know
one of the players, Ishmaa’ily Kitchen. He played
with my oldest son at Kent State University.
The older I get the fewer sports I actually play. I
still enjoy golfing in the summer. I play in two
different leagues. I used to play about six times a
week, now I play about three. I work at Napoleon’s
Golf Course from March to November. I started
golfing when I was about seven years old. I have
worked at three different golf courses. It is a sport
that allows you to enjoy the outdoors and allows you
to challenge yourself while competing against others.
I also enjoy playing tennis. I played on my high
school team. At this point in my life, doubles is the
game I prefer. I really like to play the net.
Racquetball is a lot like tennis and it is another sport
I enjoy playing. It has been several years since I
have played. When I was growing up it was a
popular sport to play. I liked playing in college too.
I used to rollerblade quite a bit, these days
however I tend to ride my bike more. Mr. Hummer
and I have taken our bikes on trips with us. It is a
great way to see your surroundings and it promotes
a health.
