Good for you. I am a list person too. I am impressed. Just realized you were in Atlanta. My daughter moved there three years ago from her life on the West Coast to be with her new husband who was getting an advanced degree at Emory and now they have just moved away from Atlanta to Newport News. VA. I enjoyed visiting her in Atlanta. It's been fun watching the Housewives of Atlanta and other Atlanta based shows and seeing shops and restaurants I have been to there on those shows. I have also been to four Top Chef restaurants there and have a picture with Richard Blais to prove it! Anyway, I enjoy your blog. It is helping me with my own transition into retirement. Rosy
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad my blog is being helpful to you. We do live in Atlanta at this time due to my Hubby's job. I've live in many places including Seattle while in college and immediately afterwards. Long ago LOL.
ReplyDeleteAmbitious list ... if you accomplish half of it you've made a lot of progress.
