Favorite Hobby?


I took some photos of my hubby (photo above) doing his favorite hobby-RECURVE TARGET ARCHERY. He's been doing it since his college days about 1960, which is 50 years ago. I too started a hobby that same year though Allen and I hadn't met yet-GENEALOGY.

Do you have a hobby you've participated in most of your life? I've dabbled in many hobbies. One pastime DANCING became my career for ten years and my major in college. Throughout my life I've tried various activities like: weaving, embroidery, knitting, sewing, beadmaking, basketmaking, pottery, drawing, watercolor, sculpture, puppetry, guitar, ethnic cooking, rock art study, costume making, woodworking, carving, stained glassmaking, card making, and scrapbooking to name a few. The only hobbies I still pursue are: photography, cardmaking, reading, computers, genealogy and writing. How about you?

  2. I think your husband is a cutie, too! It's great he's got a hobby he enjoys. I guess blogging is definitely my hobby and now preserving those family photos, films, etc. is also something that occupies a lot of my time. OH and we're still trying to finish renovating this house.

  3. Hmm...I think my most favorite hobby would be photography, ranking right up there with hiking and nature.

  4. my hobbies change with the wind...or the introduction to something new. Isn't that what makes a hobby and not a profession?

  5. Gardening has been a long time hobby. Sewing is an activity I took up again after a long hiatus when I retired. Blogging is a relatively new hobby. Reading, watching TV, and following politics are interests. And a love of nature and the outdoors sustains me.
