Hmmm.. go and live in England? May I suggest that Scotland would be much better?!
Ok - Sounds good - can we meet for tea?!!
Two things for your to-do list when you move here: teach me to quilt and to do pottery. Thanks. :)
Regarding #24, not everyone is fortunate to have a MIL who lets their son go and accepts the backseat to his wife and family. Hate is a strong word I would never use, though.
MMMMM, Pyrex? I'll call Beth.
You have been blessed with a nice full life! I enjoyed your list!
I too loved being with my children- loved the school holidays.
I dont have a MIL or FIL now, but my MIL was a very 'unusual' person. We came to a kind of peace eventually, much to the jealousy of SIL.
I really relate to #58 except for the coffee- only drink 1-2 cups a day now.
I love, love, love this list and look forward to sharing some of those things with you when you move here.
Wonderful list and congrats on the milestone! I'm glad you're here.
