Goodbye to 2013

Saying goodbye to 2013, what all did I do?

First thing I did in 2013 was walk a 5K and finished last

Walked several more 5K’s and didn’t finish last

Treadmill did not become my best friend!

Got an iPhone and iPad – staying connected

Enjoying Facebook

Travelled to Chicago

Got my picture taken at the “bean”

Stood on a glass floor 113 stories high

Went to the Mexican American art museum in Chicago

Visited Washington DC 

Lincoln memorial and stood at the same spot Martin Luther King stood.

Was moved by the 9/11 memorial at the Pentagon

Traveled to Boston

Sightseeing all of Boston.  The Freedom Trail was awesome.

Went to Salem and learned about witches.

Gathered rocks along the beach in Marshfield

Had fun at the Buckley family reunion and took a photo of everyone who attended.

Didn’t see some friends as much as I wanted

Checked out Guru Honey shop in Lincoln, Nebraska…very cool stuff

Swam in my pool daily…but never jumped in

Met new creative friends

Used my camera a lot and I mean a lot I probably have a photo for each of these things

Learned to knit!

Soldered, sewed, painted

Bedtime is way after midnight

Killed most of my plants over the summer! Only two survived.

Didn’t dance enough

Continued to get great advice from Cathy

My Wednesdays with my brother turned into any weekday with my brother
