29 But Not Holding
Just finished reading book number 29 of 30 books to read. It's number 65 on my 101 Things to Do In 1001 Days List. Twenty Wishes by Debbie Macomber was a very touching book. Made me start my own twenty wishes. It had not been long since I watched the movie The Bucket List. Not totally alike, but similar. These kinds of books/movies get you thinking. |

| Just finished reading my 28th book out of 30 that I plan to read on my 101 Things to Do List. Very interesting read. I watched the series on TV many years ago and never read the book. It's a long one... 899 pages. Took me a while but I finished it. It held my interest with the turning of every page. |

Virginia Beach, VA
| We are visiting our DStepdaughter, her DH and our 4 DGrandsons who are stationed in Virginia Beach. We arrived on Thursday, late. It took us 12 and a half hours to get here from Georgia. That included stopping for gas, restroom breaks and to eat. We are leaving on Monday and possibly stopping off in the mountains in Tennessee before we head back to Georgia. On my 101 things list, I wanted to visit 4 states I had never been to before. New Mexico was the first and now Virginia is the second. It's been fun making this list and seeing what I can get accomplished. I think I will also be making a 'Bucket List' after seeing the movie. I also plan to read Debbie Macombers 'Twenty Wishes' which I believe is along the same lines. |

Number 69 is done!
| Tonight's dinner out finished off number 69 on my 101 things to do in 1001 days list. I chose to try 10 new restaurants. Last night, while on vacation in Virginia,we dined at the Macaroni Grill. Italian cuisine. Very tasty. I would enjoy dining here again. And the number 10 restaurant.... DW's Mongolian BBQ. My DGrandson who is 6 kept asking to eat here. It is a buffet where you choose all your veggies and meats and then they cook it in front of you on a very large grill. Different and interesting. The food was very good. I know there are some Macaroni Grills near where we live but not sure about the Mongolian BBQ. Anyways..... I have finished another item on my 'to do' list!! |
