Ninety Nine Red Balloons.....

Did anyone ever get that song???? This is my 99th post, woo hoo. Really I don't care how many posts I have, everyone of them is a little celebration for me. I don't think I'll ever go back and read them ALL?? so onwards and upwards is what I say. Ninety Nine is a funny thing though when you think of it. Like why do they add 99 cents and 99 pence to items in the shops? I say ooohhh this is only $3.99 what a bargain, would I still want it if it were $4.00?? Are there ninety nine things you want to do before you turn 99??? will I live to see 99??have any of my relatives ever reached the grand old age of 99??? don't know the answer to that one, so far we don't seem to be a family of long livers....we are heavy drinkers so there's a pun there somewhere. All Brits are drinkers so I don't feel bad....it's in the genes there's no escaping it.

So for my ninety ninth post there's nothing to give away, no competitions and no awards. Just a note of thanks to the people who pass by here randomly and read the quirky thoughts I so clumsily put out there. I am enjoying this new found outlet for my creative side... I am learning from others, learning from myself, pondering more about everyday items and looking at things in a new light. I wish I had a better camera and more time to create things but that will come. Days like today are awesome.... not really 'cos Ashley is SICK people SICK... but it does mean that between cleaning up puke and getting her settled down again I can sneak some time in the blogosphere and do my 99th post in relative peace.

Things to do before turning 99........

Travel the world more, hubster wants to take me to Lake Tahoe, I want to take him to Scotland.
