Twenty nine days til my sixty fourth...

April Fool's Day...but this is no joke! On the twenty ninth of this month I will be sixty four. Just like the old Beatles song. I did not think that this could ever  happen to me. But here I am. I will post every day this month. Twenty nine pictures. Twenty nine posts.

I like to read the answers to the questions the writers who contribute to O magazine answer every month. My answers to the April 2015 questions.
1. When I need a change of scenery I...
     Go out my front door and sit on my old front porch. Bikers, walkers and kids playing.
2. The change maker I most admire is...
     Elizabeth Cady Stanton. A leader of the suffrage movement. Her sacrifices paved the way for   women's rights. I am humbled by her willingness to give up her own comfort to make a difference.
3. I would love to change...
    My exercise habit. Or non habit. I just can't make myself  a regular at the gym.
4. But I'll never change...
     My family. They are the joy of my life. The grands make life youthful and new all over again.

Six days and counting from my porch...

My neighbor of thirty-six years just sent over homeade sticky buns on a crockery plate. I have brolen at least three of her dishes and a platter and she still does not send a paper plate!

Now for today's question,  # 6. How do I want to be different because I lived in this world? Martha Beck said that in small ways or large  the world will change my life. Make a list of experiences I want to have during my brief sojurn here...hmmm.


A bucket list???  I want to visit my sister in Idaho.  Spend time with my grandchildren, lots of time. Walk in the park...feel the sun on my back. I want to get to know my daughters as adult women. See Europe,  England, Ireland, Spain & Italy would be fine. Travel with my husband, maybe Mt. Rushmore and the redwoods. Sit by a campfire, eat homeade ice cream...how will these experiences make me different? I want to savor each moment of my life, the small joys. I want to be a person who is more aware of moments let stress go....
