I'd love to know what y'all do for fun and recreation. :)

I like to dance. I'm a ballroom dancer for 15 years now. It's a hobby and also a passion. I think even when I'm 90 and using a walker, I'll still be out there on the floor, wiggling my butt to music!

I also garden. I prefer smaller flower gardens to large vegetable plots or lots of landscaping. I particularly LOVE pots...container gardening I think is my favorite!

I love to read. I read voraciously. I have an app on my phone so that I can checkout books and audio books directly from the library to my phone, and on the drive to and from work and any time I don't need to engage my brain for work I'm listening to an audio book, and I also have other books on my phone to read when I can actually look at the type.

I used to craft but I haven't done so in years. I'd love to get back to it, but life keeps getting in the way! I used to paint..watercolors mostly, do some sketching, embroidery, fabric painting, jewelry making. I'd especially enjoy making more jewelry, that was so much fun!

What about you?
 

Ronni - this may not totally conform to the thinking on "hobbies" but I am part of a group the recreates old radio shows. When we started, we thought it was a "sit in a circle" thing just for us. But it turns out that there is sufficient interest that we get an audience of 45-80 depending on the time of the year.

The scripts as well as the originals are easily found on the net and are free.
 
I've been a life long walker,never felt comfortable behind the wheel.I take 3 walks a day{weather permitting}
I also love to read,fiction/non-fiction/memoirs have a journal where I keep track of books I've read since 1990 no Nook of Kindle
love going to the movies, try to surpass the total from yr before. I've seen 15 movies so far
A life long dog lover,though I can't have pets in our apt complex,I do walk my close friends dog,Aiker{pharoh hound}whenever the opportunity arises,will be walking him this afternoon Sue
 
I love to read,cook, and garden,mostly veggies though. Walking, arranging and rearranging furniture and painting in my home. Finding items and re purposing them. I dabble in woodworking with the help of my son. A few crafts now and then and I just started to embroider, also and my latest endeavor,learning to sew with my new sewing machine. I like the adult coloring books also.
 
I like to read, write. I make greeting cards using designs I cut from old fabric scraps. I still like the Sunday drive where I just drive around someplace I've never been just to see what is there. At Christmas I pull out my grandmother's old recipes and make spritz cookies, popcorn balls, fudge, peanut brittle. I love doing that but would weigh 900 pounds if I did that all year long. I also have a couple of solldiers I send cards and care packages to ( if interested check out adoptaussoldier.org website or their Facebook page), I spend time getting people registered to vote. When I find one of those rare candidates I really believe in, I campaign for them like crazy. I also like taking some of the non credit classes that our university offers. Sometimes I like doing absolutely nothing except sitting outdoors sipping iced tea and listening to the birds.
 
I like dancing ,including ballroom dance. Now mostly it is just dancing to music here at home.

Gardening is another one we like to do.

We use to camp a lot mostly primitive tent. Also did a little snorkeling and lots of fishing.
I like to study history, ancient, world and American. Although I have forgotten much of it. I use to joke I forgot more history than most people will ever learn.
 
I discovered this thread while searching for favorite hobbies. I'm sure many of you have some interesting past times.

I enjoy woodworking and incorporated this into another hobby, creating automata.

I also enjoy landscape gardening and am just getting into cooking.

I've other interests, but would like to hear about yours.
 
Genealogy is one of my favorite hobbies. I spend hours on it and look forward to it.

Other hobbies are reading, music (listen to music all day long), dirt track racing and NASCAR, going to car shows in the warm weather, new recipes, photography & writing. I know I have more, just can't think of them all.

Animals. I love animals, but don't know that they would be a hobby as they are living beings.
 
I have too many hobbies and keep getting distracted from one to the other. I enjoy building useful things from wood, working on my unfinished model train layout, attempting to create a multi-table table database for home inventory, photography and playing with photographic software, acrylic painting, messing with free software programs, reading about and researching whatever, playing guitar (electric w/effects), watching college football and repairing broken things, building or rebuilding stereo speakers. I want to write something, too. I'm a mess.

I really wish I could really focus on just a couple of hobbies and get really proficient at them, but I can't seem to do it 'cause I'm interested in everything.

I like to restore and remodel things. I bought two late 1970s vintage Sansui SP-2500X speakers that were in excellent shape audio-wise but the cabinets were really beat up. I made new mahogany cabinets to resemble antique radios.

About 30 years ago, I used to "fix-up" boats as a hobby. People would ask me who did the work and after they found out it was me, they'd ask, "Can you do mine?" A few boats later, I found myself in the restoration business full time. Here is the "Before and After" page from my website.
