Gage Movies (WHOOF)

Collecting, pretty much everything; black cats, old kitchen ware, japanese art from the "floating world", old stained glass and art work from many different artists.
Love cooking; I work at a cooking store and constantly bring something "NEW" home with me. So many cookbooks you wouldn't beleive. Once I follow do a dish from a book the next time I change it to my own taste, Hot, Spicy and Complex. I have been on a vegetarian since the early 80's but still have a big fondness for seafood.
Gardening is my way of relaxing. Bob and I own a condo and have window boxes on all our windows and do the plantings up our walkway. Not much now but it keeps us sane.
And of cource doing some type of art work. Wish I had more time but that I just have to "make the time". Block printing, painting and photography. We have boxes of photos everywhere, a trunk filled and then some.

I'm over fifty and still finding out about life, being creative and enjoying what will happen in the future. Things change and challages of those changes help keep my life moving forward.
Bob and I have been together since 1979 and it was only by chance we connected with one another. He still makes me laugh, excited and makes me feel special.
