You would always find her sitting outside on the porch, watching the birds eat from the bird feeder and drinking from the bird bath. She enjoyed filling out crossword puzzles. She would go out to eat with friends, visit Thrift Shops and garage sales. Her favorite pastime quickly became buying "Scatch-Off" lottery tickets where the odds were typically in her favor and she would always share that love with others.
