Something I don't have much of with a family, a budding business, and three or four volunteer positions.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">What is Free Time?</span><br /></div><br />As kids, the summers lasted forever, now it's two short months.<br /><br />And those long breaks encompassing Christmas and Easter, they are only a week long or so.<br /><br />Don't even get me started on weekends, because as soon as Friday evening arrives... Monday morning sneaks in and starts the week long trudge to Friday evening all-over-again.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">If I had more Free Time, what would I do?<br /></div><br />Write a story from start to finish... as I have started five different ones, all with characters are begging me to finally have a happy ending.<br /><br />Fish... I love to go freshwater fishing with my family.<br /><br />Garden... My grandfather had three large areas where he grew all sorts of veggies. I would love to share that with my children.<br /><br />Nap... *<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">LOL</span>* Yes, nap lazily in the warm (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">ok</span>, soon to be warm) sunlight.<br /><br />Read...
