It's over

To all ye faithful readers

To all my newfound friends

60b460 is now extinct

No more countdowns

Nothing more to achieve before 60

I have had an absolute ball these past 8 months

Thanks for sharing this roller coaster ride with me

Ciao, God bless and watch this space for my new blog

Lots more to come

(I did this painting 5 years ago using acrylics, nice hey?)

Tangent: Happy Thanksgiving

I/we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here, but to all my new friends- have a happy one!

Five things I am thankful for:

1.) To live to 60 (in February )which most of my family didn't do, due to heart disease or cancer.

2.) My hubby and sons (my 'boys').

3.) My long and fulfilling career as a teacher.

4.) My sense of humour and relatively good health.

5.) My quirky, eccentric, funloving, friendly, caring nature.

Think of five things you are grateful for this thanksgiving!

Tangent:Spirit Singer Rattle

Mark gave me this quaint little 'fellow' last week when he returned from a business trip to Phoenix, Arizona.

'This rattle is a hand sized sculpture created to brighten your spirits, lighten your heart and help shake your cares away.'

It was love at first sight for me, and just what the doctor ordered, as my spirits need brightening right now.

Thanks Markles.
