She also rescues and homes pets, as well as having a bunch of pets herself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parents-hobbies#post-1428352 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 03:38:14 +0000 anonysquire 1428352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad: shopping, running, working, service, emergency preparedness, traveling, engraving.</p> <p>My mom: gardening, shopping, traveling, crafting, blogging, family history, decorating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parents-hobbies#post-1428284 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 00:57:36 +0000 doodlepoodle 1428284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad is obsessed with cars and guitars (he's an old hippie still in a band and watches top gear religiously). My step mom just follows him around, she used to do watercolor &amp; photography but hasn't in years. My mom quilts, like....obsessively. I've finally convinced her to start an etsy site. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parents-hobbies#post-1428265 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 00:21:18 +0000 sunny 1428265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom has no hobbies :-( She used to sew but she hasn't done that in many years.

My mom is a very god artist and likes to paint, although generally she's so busy with a million different activities she's trying to put together for the students at her school that she doesn't do it as much as she'd like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parents-hobbies#post-1428092 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 21:56:42 +0000 Mae 1428092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both my parents work so they don't have a ton of time for hobbies. They both work out 6 days/week, which I guess is sort of a hobby. Other than that, my mom is I guess sort of into decorating, and she does crafty stuff and she knits sometimes. My dad's main hobby is scuba diving and he golfs sometimes and he also has a motorcycle they do long rides on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parents-hobbies#post-1428041 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 21:31:08 +0000 blackbird 1428041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vacationing, shooting pool, and riding Harley's and going to motorcycle rallies and stuff. Boating on the lake in the summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parents-hobbies#post-1428025 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 21:22:47 +0000 lilteacherbee 1428025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom is into thrift store shopping and her grandson!</p> <p>My dad is a volunteer firefighter and he also flies small planes for fun.

They go out with friends and entertain at their house. They travel and do wine tasting weekends and things like that. My dad golfs and my mom does some painting and drawing. ..and shopping lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parents-hobbies#post-1427313 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 10:56:43 +0000 mrs. wagon 1427313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom loves cooking (like catering style) and is taking flower arranging right now. My dad loves to golf but doesn't much because it's so pricey. But he's a renaissance man and went to school for art, specifically ceramics. Very unconventional for an Asian man.. Esp now that he's an engineer /business analyst. Haha. But he loves to draw and build things like custom furniture. I think after he retires he should build and sell things like custom doll houses, learning towers, kitchen islands, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parents-hobbies#post-1427307 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 10:53:01 +0000 MoonMoon 1427307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They both love traveling.
