BAKING

I love to bake all kinds of desserts. I make a very nice banana bread that people have devoured in the past. I also enjoy the Thanksgiving season, because of all the pumpkin flavored items.

LISTENING TO MUSIC

My favorite type of music to listen to for all occasions is Techno/Dance/Rave music. I listen to music to calm me down or on a walk with my family. I have listened to techno for a long time.
