Dory

Hi, I'm 63 yrs young. I live with my wonderful husband, Ken, of 41 yrs and our pampered little cat, Chloe, in Rhode Island which is the smallest state in the US. I have been a diabetic for 18 months and a breast cancer survivor for 14 years. I have 3 sons and 3 grandchildren. I love being "Grammy".

I lift weights and do aerobics 3 times a week. I participate in water aerobics classes and a kickboxing class.I also do pilates. I learned to swim when I was 50 and golf when I was 59.

I knit, crochet, needlepoint, crosstitch, paint and scrapbook. I belong a group at our church that knits prayer shawls for people in need. We pray as we are knitting (or crocheting) them; then they are blessed at a special mass and distributed to those want one. I'm also into photography. My lastest hobby being ATCs. I have only been making them for 4 months and I am hooked. I have participated in 5 swaps on another site. I am excited about Swap-bot and looking forward to meeting new people (especially from other countries)and seeing their artwork. I just discovered Dottee dolls. They are so cute. I am going to make some.

I like most movies except horror films. Some of my favorites are Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Shall we Dance and the last one I saw Mama Mia.

Classical , soundtracks and my granddaughter playing the violin.

Mysteries,old TV shows, gardening, decorating and craft shows. I got my oldest granddaughter interested decorating shows when she was little and at 11, she still watches them.

I like to read mysteries especially Britsh "cozies". Always looking for new authors.

I like most bright colors but my favorite would be pink for breast cancer awareness. My husband says I'll practically buy anything with a pink ribbon on it.

I love cats and most animals. I like to feed and watch the birds.(my cat is an indoor cat because of the birds and coyotes). I love Disney. Besides Mickey and Minnie, my favorite characters are Chip & Dale and Dory, the blue fish from Finding Nemo. My husband has started to call me "Dory"(hence my user name) because I identify with the little fish with the bad memory. I also like seashells and butterflies.

Anything off-color or profane.
