After a short hiatus, we're resuming our A to Z of US posts. Check out the Blog Archive for the letters A through H.
We buy season passes to Dollywood since we are in TN every spring and fall (as well as summer this year). We've managed several visits and really enjoyed seeing it at Christmastime last year.
We couldn't talk about interests without mentioning my writing and Stu's renewed interest in scuba diving.
We have tried geo-caching and decided it just wasn't for us. Now that Stu's knees are better, I know we will be doing more hiking when we get back to traveling more. I bought some beginner jewelry making supplies but admit that has taken a backseat to my writing.
What are your interests?

Like you I love music, I am a fan of old and new and recently started blogging about new bands. I also like to write but am really quite new to it - if that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteI would love to go to Disney - you are so lucky - and to have such a good excuse as grand children. Truly blessed :)
We are blessed for sure! Music definitely feeds our soul in a way that nothing else can. And I do understand the new to writing. I've done non-fiction for many years but am still new to fiction writing. LOL! Welcome to our personal blog!
DeleteMy friend Rosie works in the weaving booth at Dollywood every Oct-Nov time period. She dresses in historic themed clothing and shows people how fiber is turned into yarn and then woven into cloth or rugs.
ReplyDeleteIf you are there then, stop and say HI and tell her you know KarenInTheWoods... she said it's a great place to work with wonderful people and staff. It's a super way to supplement the retirement income with a bit of wages from Dollywood and some sales of her weaving items.

If we get there this fall I will definitely look her up! Thanks, Karen.
DeleteI guess my passion is writing..I have written lots of stuff, and many poems for friends and family...Next to that is sketching..altho I'm not very good at it...my baby brother is a very gifted artist...I do love music, and sang in High School with a group, but our granddaughter is the singer in this family...Everyone should have at least ONE passion to pursue..
ReplyDeleteDonna, you REALLY need to start checking out my Write 4 Ten daily (M-F) writing prompts and just do it. Even you can afford ten minutes. Do it online or use a page per day in a notebook. Don't worry about what you are writing, just do it!
DeleteMy passion is painting and my DW's passion is writing - having published a children's novel this past October and now working on the sequel.
ReplyDelete...and I'm so glad to have met you both (via on-line). I have an absolutely fabulous painting of a scene I love thanks to you and I participated in the April A-Z challenge on my writing blog thanks to Melissa.
DeleteLooking forward to finally meeting in person one day.
Thank you Donna - we will be in various parts of Florida from Nov. 1 - Apr 15. We have been in Nova Scotia for the past 2 1/2 weeks with 1 1/2 more to go and then off to Old Quebec City for 3 weeks.
ReplyDeleteBill's passion is drawing and painting and I am into crafts of all kinds. We both love all kinds of music and are looking forward to seeing some talent as we travel. I have been trying different things, soap making, jewelry making, etc. to see what I can do while on the road. I guess the road will give me some clues.
