Getting older or living a dream?
« on: Monday 28 February 05 04:27 GMT (UK) »
:o On March 3rd I celebrate my 41st birthday...another year older.

;D I'm thrilled to say I'm living out my dream by earning my Bachelor's of Fine Arts degree. It's not easy, and sometimes it seems I may be close to retirement before I'm done.

Is your birthday near? Are you living out a dream? What is it?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for the 3rd Chicabee (I will be on my way back over to Cheshire).

My dream is to spend a month in Tuscany Italy.  Sitting on a terrace overlooking hills and vineyards, with a glass of wine in a floaty frock (me in the frock not the glass of wine) hubby stroking the back of my neck as the sun goes down ... Mmmmmmmmm .. Hm I'm getting carried away now.

Back to snowy Lincolnshire ....

Happy Birthday for Thursday Chicabee.

My dream would be that once we reached a certain age we were able to deduct years rather than add them!
