For those who don't know me or aren't interested you can skip this post. It has no pictures and just a long, perhaps boring to you, to do list, more or less.
This summer I participated in the Summer Reading Program at
our public library. The main reason I do it is because if we complete the
program we don’t have to pay library fines for a year. This is a blessing since
I check out so many books at different times that I have a hard time keeping
track of all of them. One of the things you could do to earn points was make a
list of 100 things you want to do in your lifetime. Since I am in the last
quarter of my life, I had a difficult time listing 100. I managed to come up
with 80. I didn’t earn the points but I do have a list. Here it is:
