Inspired by Chris, I humbly present my "done that" list:
1. Travelled in Iceland, Greenland, UK, France, Netherlands, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, New Zealand, Aruba, Barbados, the USA (most states), and Canada (everywhere except Labrador) ... and maybe a few other places that I've forgotten.
2. Sewn on a few buttons.
3. Snorkeled.
4. Ran a 10K and a triathlon.
5. Built a garden shed and countless tables, bookcases, and bread boards.
6. Seen bears, moose, deer, elk, mountain goats, and skunks (up close).
7. Sat in the cockpits of (too) many small planes and helicopters.
8. Have a hard time with English (but can read a little French).
9. Can do laundry, ironing, vacuum, cook and bake.
10. Ate a mosquito once (not by choice).
11. Have killed zillions of mosquitoes.
12. Met a few mayors, reeves, and premiers.
13. Grown lots of vegetables and some flowers.
14. Planted lots of trees and shrubs, including some lilacs.
15. Have been interviewed by print, radio, TV journalists hundreds of times.
16. Have kept a daily journal for over 40 years.
17. Have done some watercolours, calligraphy, and pen and ink sketching.
18. Have taken thousands and thousands of photos.
19. Still use index cards.
You've only eaten one mosquito? I would've thought more. I've had at least two.
ReplyDeleteGood list. Daily journal for 40 years...that's impressive.

You've had two children, enjoyed many days at a beautiful cottage in Ontario, made delicious cookies, enjoyed 3 grandchildren, been a passenger in a boat with a four (?) year old driving, QUIT SMOKING (???), been to Expo 86 and I'm sure I'm missing tons of other things :)
