I do enjoy working jigsaw puzzles, but the older I get the more I like working them on a computer rather than at the kitchen table. Working them on the computer lets me make the pieces bigger so I can see what I am doing.
A cure for cancer would be grand and a fine accomplishment. I think to be the oldest person you'd need to live to about 117 or thereabouts. I had a great-great aunt who lived to be 107. She lived by herself until she was 105.
ReplyDeleteMy mother always wanted to live to 100. She died at 102, but she had Alzheimers so didn't know she had lived to 100...plus all of her siblings and friends were dead and she didn't recognize me. One thing I learned from her is that I DO NOT want to live to 100!
ReplyDeleteYou've been to MN, IA, MO, AR, NE, KS, and AL, which I have not. But I've been to CO, UT, CA, NV and all of the Northeast states (but they're small!)
