She also enjoyed Hockey Night in Canada if the other team scored a goal against the Montreal Canadians ,her reaction was intense. And as a lady of mature years she raked blueberries , because she actually enjoyed it .She was very talented ,what she did she did well. She could cook ,sew ,bake ,knit ,fish and enjoyed camping with her children when they were small .Camping as in the cottage at Black Brook, no power or running water ,just a Coleman stove and lamp.
