One is what you have already, and that's to raise my son to an age where I feel okay about it all. And the hot air balloon sounds amazing.

You still want to learn new things and challenge yourself, mentally as well as physically. That is a sign of youthfulness in mind and spirit. I have a friend just a few years your senior that is very old in mind and spirit.<br /><br />His idea of a good day is a smooth bowel movement and a nap.<br /><br />Life is for the living!

I had as much fun seeing the mosaiculture exhibit at our local Botanical Gardens (I posted about it on Tuesday, if you'd like to see the pictures. Really neat!) as I would have at another Garden in some exotic location. That being said, there are two things I'd like to do some day: see the aurora borealis... and see a duck-billed platypus. If I never do either, I won't be disappointed, though. I have thirteen beautiful grandchildren and a wonderful life with my husband. Who could ask for anything more?<br /><br />As for inside or hot, it depends on the temperature. I can't handle HOT temperatures anymore, so I"m a bit of an air conditioning baby nowadays.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699419008460778736.post-91312600432887777592013-08-02T04:05:41.550-07:002013-08-02T04:05:41.550-07:00you are right, raising those four kids and getting...you are right, raising those four kids and getting them to be adults is a great accomplishment.

I like to be outdoors a lot, but around lunch time I hide indoors to protect my skin and get some fresh air.<br /><br />2) Poolside for sure, lakeside even better.<br /><br />3) Summertime activities I prefer are those that are done in the woods or on a lake. And, sipping on some good wine... :-)HappinessSavouredHot (Julie Saint-Mleux)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10440062323314751611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699419008460778736.post-56189476839353442212013-08-02T03:51:35.714-07:002013-08-02T03:51:35.714-07:00So much fun!
