#7 Learn six new meals

1. Recipe from the great book Michele gave me for Christmas 2010- the meal was Penne with spinach and pine nut. Is one course a meal?

Started a few things

I've realized I need to do something every day towards achieving anything- I'm going to be mighty busy!
Found a few letters I need to photograph, started one of the YA (Young Adult) books, tried to do the gardens, a few other things begun.!

The countdown

Today is the start of my countdown to turning 60 on November 22 2012.

I want to celebrate and enjoy the time.

I'm going to try to keep track of this grandiose plan on this blog but do it in a different way. I hope to have one entry for each of the "things" and add to them as they develop!

Wish me luck!
