I'm going to be 70 this week [View all]

My older daughter is on her way to spend the week with me. I made a loaf of bread, and as I was kneading it, realized it was the last loaf of bread I'll make in my 60s. I'll keep baking as long as I'm able, just a random thought as I was getting it ready.

I actually feel like I am starting fresh, new years, new experiences. I've gotten through many decades and I'm looking forward to getting through this one
