Sandy had performed as a member of various country-western musical
groups when he was younger. He still maintains an active interest in
country music, and is trying to learn more about bluegrass music. He
has a few guitars, and has been known to bore anyone who will listen, with
"Uncle Sandy's Raunchy Rhymes and Bawdy Ballads," a collection
of humorous and slightly off-color songs and stories.
All it takes is a campfire and an audience; he becomes insufferable.
Collections
Sandy enjoys stamp collecting, with concentration in United States and The
Philippines. He also has collections of music, books, baseball caps and coffee mugs.
Carolyn is a voracious reader of romance novels (and has a few thousand of them)
and has a small collection of glasses and decanters.
Arts and Crafts
Carolyn crochets, works in ceramics and enjoys custom-making towels, tee-shirts and
sweats, particularly using photographs or her own artistic designs. She
also is known for her home-made jams, jellies and preserves. You
really should try her old fashioned apple butter! It's great!
