October 26, 2013 Maureen and I walked a 5k for Denise Dickson Garcia, who is fighting breast cancer. It was a fun time for a great cause. Never thought I would have put all those words in the same sentence! Maureen and I usually have "lunch", not walk marathons together-or anything physical! LOL
Actually had 2 yardsales this summer!!! Got rid of a LOT of "stuff" and made some money too! Lots of work, but so worth it, so glad it finally knock his off the list!!

Charlotttown PEI...the largest parade in Atlantic Canada....the Gold Cup Parade. Fun time!
set my alarm to watch the sunrise at our cottage in Rustico, PEI. Breathtaking, worth waking up for! Saw the sunset on the hotel deck that same lovely evening.
August 2013 It wasnt Vegas or Ireland, like we considered, it was PEI. It was heaven! Had a wonderful week playing on the beach, fishing, going to shows, playing bocci and mini golf, drinking beer and just enjoying each others company! This was way harder to coordinate than I had thought, with all of our schedules and lives going in so many different directions. So glad it happened. Feeling blessed
July 22, 2012 FINALLY!!! Gosh, I have been putting this off for too long, needed new prescriptions! I still need to get a new pair of sunglasses, plan on waiting till January, to save some money..insurance pays for one pair a year. Check!
July 22 2013 Entered for a chance to become an ambassador for Diana Gabaldon and the book Outlander! LOVED this series when it came out so many years ago and through a FB friend got talking about it again....found out they are making a TV series of it and they were looking for ambassadors to promote...we shall see, but I am checking this off. I have entered!
October 13, 2012....to celebrate Larrys birthday, Oliver and I took him on a train ride in North Conway, New Hampshire. It was a beautiful fall day, and a fun time, just the 3 of us. The train was pretty cool too.
July 10/12 2013 Took the train to Boston! Will definitely use this mode of transportation again! very easy way to get to the city!!

July 10-12 2013 Went on a short jaunt with Maureen Adley to Boston! Had a blast....I can say this is done, but hoping to add more before the time frame is up....
July 12, 2013 Went to Museum of Fine Arts in Boston with Maureen Adley. Spent about 3 hours, only saw about 1/4 of the museum. Loved it! Need to go back...and the best part? It was free on that day! Perfect timing!haha
July 11 2013 On a rainy, then hot humid day, Maureen Adley and I walked the freedom trail and ended at the tippy top of Bunker Hill Monument. Walked all 294 steps! PHEW!!! It was a great day, lots of history, beautiful sights and loved every second of it! Check!

ok, not knocking this off the list, but because we have decided to sell, this may not get accomplished. However, i did repaint my mudroom. Should have put that on the list instead, but I will swap it out if I have too!!!!....of course, if we move before this goal date is up, I will reapaint where ever my new living room will be!
July 6, 2013 Ok, Oliver has had a few fires in my backyard that I have attended, but today we had our own fire and invited Ed and Faith to join us. Too many mosquitoes decided to attend as well!!! But it was neat watchig the stars, the satellites and planes wiz by and the country feel of fire flies twinkiling in the background.

Larry and I both thought the place was awesome, well worth the admission price. Will go back again and recommend to all our friends. Dont have to be a kid to enjoy this hidden secret!

April vaca 2013....Made the trip in one day, about 10 hours. Stayed at the Lightner Farmhouse for 4 nights, did the guided tours of the Battlefield and the town, explored a lot on our own. A very memorable experience. lots of history with many personal tales that brought life to those times. We found ourselves being drawn back to the battlefields every night. Truly an experience Im glad we decided to do!
1. Wuthering Heights....with Lawrence Olivier. A great classic! November 3, 2012

4.I'll Be Seeing You...Ginger Rodgers and Joseph Cotten A WWII based movie about a GI dealing with war trauma and a girl out of prison for 10 days.

Tia got me a gift certificate to get my cards read and I redeemed it today. it was a great, fun experience. She read my present very well about me and my job, Oliver and Larry...even dad and Eric. She nailed it! Also with names of people deceased was very intriguing! Her read of the following 2 years promises a change in jobs, a more laid back lifestyle, travel, letting things go mentally and materialistically, moving and possibly a grandchild!!!! Time will tell how accurate she is! Definitely a great thing to check off the list!!!

Got all the pages together...now to bring it to Kinkos to have it calendarized!!! Made for a special Christmas present for Oliver and Tia. Hope they love it, cause a LOT of love went into it 
They LOVED it!!! So glad I did this! I did a collage of pics of them and them with friends and family for each month!
They LOVED it!!! So glad I did this! I did a collage of pics of them and them with friends and family for each month!Started November 9th.... It's December 12th and I can say I met this goal! No fast food of any kind, not even a salad! LOL
December 4th...went Christmas Caroling at the Nursing Home with my RAAPA friends. Always glad I go, but bittersweet to go as well.
November 16,2012 Went to see Friday Night Live at 49 Franklin! What a blast!! Gut busting laughs all night long! What great talent in this River Valley! So glad we went! Cant wait for the next show!
Nov 9,2012 I joined WW AGAIN!

I learned how to use the smartboard at school, but I also have incorporated it into a lesson plan each week to help the kids learn their phonics skills in a fun way......I am in progress of learning my kindle...need TIME!!!...and also am using the points plus program in WW . Because I hate writing everything down, I am hoping this will help me stay in track....Im not checking this off yet though, until I have mastered it a few weeks!
1. Withering Heights....with Lawrence Olivier. A great classic! November 3, 2012
October 13- got my pic taken with Patrick Dempsey!!!!!! Oh baby, that was thrilling!!!!
So two days before school starts back up, my friend Becky calls and says there is a movie being filmed in Lewiston and they are looking for extras!!!!....and do I want "in"...Hell, YA! What a great time we had...got to dress in renissance costumes and did some minor reaction shots. The movie is Richard III, kinda a monty python style script. We had a blast, met some neat people too. Dont think we'll ever make the big time, but I did play an extra in a movie. Living in Maine and not getting out of Rumford much, I call that an accomplishment!
October 14, Mom's birthday, her first birthday in heaven. Volunteering at the Rumford's hospital reststop was so uplifting. Lots of great people working together for an awesome cause. Met a group of people who biked all the way from Calgary! What an inspiration they were! and fun!!! Had some fun dancing with the DJ's at our site too. It was a damp and cold day, but that didnt stop any of us. Oh, and Patrick Dempsey-as charming and beautiful a person you could ever meet! On the inside and out!....that was the icing on the cake
Went apple picking with Larry September 15th at Shackley Farms before going to the Farmington Fair. A beautiful fall day picking Macs and Courtlands. My camera had died, so I was unable to get pics....bummer!!! First year ever I had no camera...perhaps I need to do this goal again!!!!...with Oliver?!

September 19 I went to the book signing of "When we were the Kennedy's" by Monica Wood. A memoir written by Monica of a year in her life and of the life of our town. A very moving story of life in the area. Brought back lots of memories of times gone by, and pride to think that someone from "here" has gone so far! I didnt want the book to end! I loved every line of it and it was thrilling to meet her for "real"!
While in PEI, I went to see "Ring of FIre" , all the music of Johnny Cash!...and On August 24th I went to see 42nd Street at the Maine State Music Theater! Oh, what a great musical to see some tap dancing!!!(my favorite!) This was a wonderful, fun goal to accomplish, and hope to add more musicals to this list before the 1001 days are up!
August 3, 2012 in St John's New Brunswick, we took a guided tour in the Reversing Falls of the St John River. We had the boat all to ourselves with a wonderful, informative young girl. It was a beautiful, puff cloudy blue sky kinda day, perfect for not only going into the reversing falls, but the scenic landscapes of the city and fishing shacks along the banks. A great, memorable boat ride!!
PEI with Gayle, Donna, Erik and Helen, Diane and John, and of course Larry. After an evening dinner of Island blue muscles and salads, instead of playing cards, we opted to sit outside and watch the stars! It was a warm night with a slight ocean breeze. We could hear he waves cresting on the shore as we waited for shooting stars. I saw more planes than shooting stars! It was a beautiful night sky, and such a calming, relaxing way to end another perfect Island day!
On my 3rd book of the girl with the dragon tatoo trilogy...summer vacation makes it much easier to accomplish this
This goal wasnt as simple as it first seemed. What I thought would take an hour took about 3 days to complete....mainly because I wanted to include not only the things I want to get done, but also to expand my horizons, improve my mind and my self image as well as having a little fun enjoying the simple things in life in my backyard and far and wide. Go me! I think it's going to be a fun journey!!! And I love crossing things off a list! Thanks to Becky and Julia for implanting this idea in my head!
