We all have different perspectives on life. You have been blessed to do and see a lot. That's why I like books, movies, and writing. When you look at the world through different eyes it makes us more understanding. Whatever makes you happy is not the same for everyone. There are so many things that can lift us up and bring us Joy. Age and experience change our focus.

I have time periods in my life I love to remember. I wonder how I will look at them in subsequent decades. It'll probably be car wash-related.

Re:
I was proud of my hollyhocks and zinnias and eight different kinds of mint. I drank a lot of mint tea.....hot in winter and iced in summer.

I had a vegetable garden when my kids were growing up - grew some luscious tomatoes at one time. It would be so sweet if the world's weather would settle down to normal ranges and stopped with the flash floods, forest fires and devastation.

Re: Sherri.....
Have you ever been to Missouri? The Ozark area is especially beautiful and fun.

Yes! I enjoy gardening and tending to my yard, but lately I've noticed that it is getting harder as I get older. Thank goodness for lawn maintenance people. I will eventually rely on them to maintain my yard's hedges, trimming, and mowing. I also enjoy reading about places around the world. I have only traveled as far as Canada and Mexico, but I have been to all of our great states except for five. I prefer to travel by car, but John and I are hopping on a plane this year to visit my parents in Nevada. With all the plane wrecks this year, to say I am nervous about flying would be an understatement. ✈️
