Here's the stuff I enjoy, listed in no particular order -- with gardening at the top, of course!
NOTE: More information and links will be added to these topics very soon!
Gardening -- I love to garden. A small ceramic sign in one of the flowerbeds reads "Cares melt when you kneel in your garden", and how true that is. It restores my mind, calms my nerves, and the garden is where God has taught me much about Himself as the Master Gardener of my life. I particularly enjoy designing and planning the garden, and my favorite time of year is Fall when I do most of the planting. Our favorite plant is Salvia -- ever since Jim saw a Salvia leucantha (Mexican Bush Sage) in bloom at the nursery, with its long fuzzy purple blooms, and said "ooh, what's THAT?!?".
Web Authoring and Design
Genealogy -- Surnames I'm researching include ERNST, GARRISON, KESTERSON, WALDEN, CAMPBELL, WHELAN, NICKERSON, HATCH, CROWELL, ELDREDGE, GEHR, ZIEGLER, GILLROY, FORTNER. In England, I'm researching TURNER. In Scotland, MCLEAN.
Sewing, Cross-stitching, and Quilts
The GardenWeb is probably my favorite site on the web. Don't miss the friendly forums about all aspects of gardening in all regions of the country (and some regions of the world).
HTML Help -- The site of the Web Design Group, devoted to "Making the Web accessible to all". An important web-authoring reference for HTML and CSS, online tools, helpful design elements, articles, links and more. Don't miss the HTML Validator to validate the HTML of your site.
That Home Site! -- The sister site of GardenWeb, That Home Site! is devoted to the Home.
Online Conversion -- Conversion calculators to convert just about anything to anything else.
Bartleby.com -- Great Books Online -- A free online resource for famous books of literature, reference, and verse. Includes encyclopedia, dictionary, thesaurus, quotations, The Harvard Classics, Gray's Anatomy, Strunk's Elements of Style, and other famous writings.
Miriam-Webster OnLine -- The famous dictionary, online. Includes a thesaurus and fun things to do with words.
