What hobby or interest did you have when you were younger that you still have a passion for?

I'm sorry, missed the ping altogether!

I will probably bring the thread to a screaching halt with this but when I was young I wanted to quilt, raise a garden, have children, own some acreages and horses. I did for many years, then went to work, all my priorities changed and now, I long for what I had in the past. No thank you on the children, love them and don't want to create another set but I could do the garden, acreage, etc. Only difference now is I'd want to work at least part time.

My next goal is the cabin in the woods (for retirement), I'm pretty happy doing what I do for right now.

I wonder if anyone longs for a more old fashioned way of existance? Any pros or cons about what we used to do. (I ain't THAT old by the way!!)

How oldfashioned are you talking about here?

I like running hot and cold water and electricity. :)

Otherwise, I like a garden etc.

You could put the picture up that you did last week so all would see.

I'm not THAT old either. However, I am not driven anymore, if you know what I mean. I want a more relaxed life style. Since I am a widow, I do as I please. I want to travel some, enjoy my family, meet new people; but I still want to be at home for a great deal of the time. I am a homebody at heart I guess. I just like the simple life most of the time.
