Hey Jane,
I would love to help you with some of those 101 worthy things. Call me and come to my house and I'll take you to Sendall gardens. We walk our dog there often.
It's a start! I'll call you in August and see if you're around when I can my peaches too. I have some tea flavors you could try as well. I'll make the tea and watch as you do the front flip on the trampoline. Of course I'll have the phone pre-dialed to 911 just in case you don't make it and if you do I'll find you some dry underwear!!
Looking forward to helping.
Lynne
Hey! What a coincidence, I've got a newborn on order. I'll lend her to you so you can cross that one off your list (did you have babysit a toddler on there too???)
Happy Happy Birthday Jane, What a birthday list. Would love to be able to give you all what your heart desires.... they may not happen in 1001 days but Knowing you it's possible they could happen in your lifetime.
Love you, Mom
