HUBS



Does your HUBS have a hobby?

Mine does.

He golfs and he bikes.

Golfing was his slight obsession 
until he had knee surgery this past March.

Golf has had to take a back seat to biking for a while.
SERIOUS biking.

Like he rode 80 miles this morning.

80.

He hopes to participate in CYCLE ACROSS NC in September.

I'm proud of him.

Does YOUR hubs have a hobby?

Wow!! I would be doing good if I rode a bike to the end of our street and back!! Actually, to the end of my "short" driveway and back!!! 80 Miles!! Awesome!

My hubby doesn't really have any hobbies, so to speak...now he does make sure he goes and walks each day since having open heart surgery 4 years ago....but he hasn't played any golf now in a long time. But he does take care of his garden, though!

My hubby would LOVE to have a hobby. Right now, though, it is helping with the 3 babies. We do get away every once in a while, though, and get on the golf course. It could easily turn into an obsession.

Oh, we try to support my girls' Daddy in gettinig out to do something guy-ish after all the girly stuff that goes on around here. A man can only play My Little Pony and Princess dress up for SO long. We are happy for his outside hobbies, and his tolerance of all the femininity around here.

80 miles! Geeze,I get tired riding 80 miles in the car! Good for him! My guy is a hobby pilot, water skier, electric train collector, romote control plane operator...boys and their toys!

My hubby golfs, tennis and bike riding. He thought he might need another knee surgery until he took up biking. Seriously. The biking helped strengthen his knee and surgery wasn't needed. We both love our bikes. We would love to do a long bike ride in another country...maybe as soon as we financially recover from the wedding!

Hugs,
Kat

My word - when you said biking you weren't kidding - 80 miles is very impressive!

Mine loves fishing and motorcycling, of course.

Hunting and gardening(like growing veggies, not flowers...I wish he liked to grow flowers:))Wow,I would be proud of him too...80 miles!

My hubby is a mechanic
seems like that is his hobby because he never quites working (o:
He does fish some....not a lot lately.
Is the biking suppose to be getting your guys knee back in shape?

Way to go....80 miles is quite a ride. My hubby had knee surgery too and still can't golf yet either. He used to bike seriously but hasn't done that in quite a long time. He loves carpentry and building things. Currently he's how to paint pictures and we are learning to garden.

He's riding in the MS150 in a few months.

My husband loves to shoot pool. We belong to the Elk's Club and he plays on a pool league there. He used to golf, but does not play much anymore. He enjoys playing his guitar too. He is an all-around handyman around the house and can do just about anything with his hands. I know you are proud of your husband. That is amazing!! And great exercise for him. Love & blessings from NC!
