That's a great question and it gives some happiness to the forum when people are going through a lot of hard times and pain.

My happiness as I said is my family. My kids just built a cabin in the mountains. I went up last weekend and went hiking with them. I slipped and fell and landed on my tailbone on a rock. I'm still paying for that one but I had fun. The kids did help me up and down the places that were hard for me to go and Travis finally told me I couldn't go any farther so I had to sit and wait on them. I'm talking cliffs. Travis and a friend slid down one and couldn't get back up so they had to find another way out and we back tracked. Boy was my legs sore. I thought we were going to go hiking on the road. I get a key where I can go up anytime I want. Great getaway.

My Grandson's. Dustin is on the bowling league, Travis is on the adult one, Devin is in football and will go into basketball so I go to games. The boys also spend 2 to 3 nights a week with me. The only downfall with that, I have to get up early to take them to the bus stop which is 5 blocks away.

I deal in antiques. Buy and sell. I also make jewelry.

I try to be as active as possible even if it hurts. I have came a long way.

I can't carry a tune in a bucket but I do have a kareoke machine and have made some tapes for the boys in case anything happens to me. Bill sang so they have several tapes of him. I do like trying to sing.

I like being around people. We have a lot of bbq's at the kids' house for birthdays, graduations, ballgames, and anything else that gives us an excuse to cookout and get together.

I talk to my family back home a lot. 6 brothers and sisters left, one with cancer. He's doing good right now.

I like good movies, good books, good jokes.

I do enjoy the forum too and have made some good friends on here in the past 10 years. It's been fun.
