I am a waitress at a small mom and dad type deli and grocery.I enjoy boating and fishing as we live on a lake,my favorite past-times are the computer and reading. In summer I enjoy sitting on my front porch watching the many birds that come to the feeders we have outside, when we are not out enjoying the lake.
