If you noticed the title of this blog, I decided to post 60 things I've done in almost 60 years instead of trying to figure out 60 things to do in the next 11 months. My family & I have been blessed!! While our children still lived at home we were able to take many vacations, one of my favorites was in 1992 when we went to the Pacific coast and were gone for 25 days (in our RV).
So, here is a list of 60 things I've done in almost 60 years of life (I'm sure I left out a lot of things), but these are the things I could think of today ... and I realize these things are mainly places we've visited, through the years I've also done things like serve lunch to the homeless, but those are for another list...
