We are taking a small family staycation/local getaway with aunts and uncles and grandma.  We even made a 50 item bucket list to soar through this summer!

Good for you, Carol! My mom started her "higher-education" journey when she attended community college at 56; then UMKC at 60, then attained her JD at 64...

 

Proudly she became CASA attorney and served so many needy persons throughout the 20 years she was able to.

 

Keep up your drive; it will pay dividends, me thinks!

Done with this "new" and "improved"... kinda like dotard improved America...

My husband and I have only had 1 dream since 1981, when we got married.  It is a trip to Norway. I don't think we will ever make it there but everyone needs to have a dream, right??

I cannot wait to spend time with my beautiful granddaughter at the beach. We do this every year and this will be our 6th Summer trip. 🥰

This is my first summer since retiring. I plan to spend time with my grandchildren and children. I have a trip planned for October. I want to start tai chi for myself.

I want to relax more, because I spend a lot of time taking care of my Dad and brother. I also want to eat healthier & get in better shape.
