Thirteen Things I Want To Do Before I Die

Thirteen Things I Want To Do Before I Pop My Clogs

1. Arrive in Venice, at sunset, on a boat from the sea.

2. Watch my daughter walk up the Aisle to be married.

3. See my son graduate from university.

4. Be a really good grandmother.

5. Pay off the mortgage on our house.

6. Go on a scrapbooking retreat with lots of my friends.

7. Dance a waltz with Jamie, in a big frock. I will be the one in the frock.

8. Be reconciled to my family of origin.

9. Sing something really well.

10. Write a book.

11. Swim in the Pacific Ocean again.

12. Climb a mountain.

13. Have a holiday which lasts longer than a week.

Some of those are going to remain dreams, but others may just happen!

Dorothy,
You are well on your way to writing your book... just slurp your blog and have it sent to you in book format!

Regarding the scrapbooking one I hope it includes coming here to the states! I'd LOVE to have all the SHS gals over to scrapbook someday!

And, regarding having a vacation longer than 3 weeks sounds like RETIREMENT!

I love reading your blog Dorothy! I usually only get to everyone's blogs once a week or so but I truly enjoy reading and catching up on everyone!
