Travel is Fatal to Prejudice, Bigotry and Narrow-mindedness — Mark Twain

My husband and I love to travel. We have done quite a lot in Europe, China, Thailand and the Caribbean. We love to watch the travel shows on TV. You learn so much from traveling and it truly broadens your horizons. One thing I have learned is that people are people- all basically the same--all over the world!

Fitness Minutes: 16,111

My Goals:
I would like to take charge of my weight and get healthy. I hate to exercise, but at my age it becomes a necessity, not a choice unless I want to deal with the alternative.

My Program:
 I am staying within my calorie goals and eating healthier- working on more veggies. My downfall is not exercising. I am working on this, making slow progress.

Personal Information:
I live in a small town in northern Illinois. My husband and I have been married 45 years and have 2 sons. Unfortunately no grandchildren yet. Effie Annie is our "dogter".

I am a nurse on the brink of retirement. Just having a hard time making the big decision.

Thanks so much for the comments on the Gardens. We go there so often they asked me to become a docent. I declined I have way too many commitments, especially to our own yard. The old back has it's priorities--Myself and DH.
There are few paid workers and there are lots of volunteers. Once you are a member the membership enables a long list of Botanical gardens so it is worth the membership to have reciprocal agreements. I can go to the NY gardens and I did go to some in California. Thanks again for reading and commenting on my Blog. emoticon emoticon emoticon

I love to go to see the wild flowers. It is amazing some we had in UK many we did not. Some of our common ones have strange names over here in US, so we often have conversations. Another student who instructed on National parks is actually from Northern Island so there is another name for the same species. I love it and the walks HUGS Pat in Maine.
PS are you travelling this Year. emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon
