That’s quite a list. Even half of that would be an accomplishment. Good luck with your book and the poll.

That’s a lot to do. You’ll be busy.

I can’t believe your granddaughter is going to be 2!!! Incredible.
You’ve always accomplished so much.
I can’t WAIT for Iron Horse Rider III.
I’ve only got one of them in print, but I’ve read both. I’ll get the other two in print so I can have a collection.

Life is so full! I need a good list like that!

Anthony NorthJanuary 14th, 2010 at 8:07 am

Been away for a while but glad to be back. You’ll find mine here.

I’m with Alice; you’re motivating me. Sadly, I was already motivated, so now I’m super motivated. Who needs to eat???

Looks like you’ve got lots to do and wish you luck on each task. I need to prioritize the multitude of tasks on my list to make it more manageable. Thanks for dropping by Happily Retired Gal for my ‘visual 13′ this week. I’ve also shared at Sacred Ruminations … mostly in words.
Hugs and blessings,

With your daughter’s sweet sixteen.

Buy a pack of cards, envelopes. Have each guest address an envelope to herself where she lives now. Have them write down things that are important to them. (Boys they like, Girls they like, what they want to do when they grow up, who the president is, how much a CD is etc.) Have them put their relationship to your daughter in there. Then seal the envelopes (with stickers if you have them) and promise to mail these out in 16 years.

One of my friends did this. When I was 33, her parents sent out the letter and my parents told me “hey, there’s a letter here to you with your handwriting.” They sent it to me. It was AMAZING. I got back in touch with the girl (now woman) and we’re friends again.

If the parents have moved the letters will come back to you and I’m sure one of your daughter’s friends will know how to get in touch with some of them.

Sorry to run on. happy TT!

Happy TT!
