Hobbies

I am married to Ken Olsen.  We have 2 children--Ryan and Jennifer.  They are both college graduates.  They both have families. 

My hobbies are very diverse.  I enjoy all areas of gardening.  I especially love to grow herbs.  I use them in my everyday cooking.  I also use them in fragrancing my home.

I enjoy many activites such as power walking, tennis, hiking, biking, camping, boating, and playing all other sports.

I have seven granddaughters and one grandson.  They are very special to me.  I love playing with them.  One of my granddaughters is handicapped.  She is so dear to my heart.  She lives in Iowa for now while her daddy is finishing his residency in medicine.  I take her to the park in her wheel chair, read to her, play games with her, and help feed her through a feeding tube.  She is so loving, and she just wants me to hug, play, and kiss her all day long.
