I love catfish, had some for lunch today, as a matter of fact!

As for hobbies as a kid, I did the potholder thing because I couldn't knit or crochet. I'm lefthanded and no one could teach me without me turning it upside down. Didn't work for me.

I also read.. still do... a ton. I particularly liked the Boxcar Children, Chronicles of Narnia, Toby joins the Circus, and of course all the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys mysteries. I liked the Laura Ingalls books too.

I had a coin collection started by a family friend that joined the Army and had to go to Vietnam. I still have it. Every month he'd send me money he got from the different countries he was in.

He was my only penpal in Vietnam. I also had a penpal in New Mexico. I guess that was a hobby too.
