      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!

        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!
