A little heart shaped Avon ring with a garnet stone in the center that my DH gave me when we were dating (33 years ago.) The gold is wore off and it only fits on my pinky now so it has a special spot in my jewelry box.

Home if I'm not alone. Anywhere there are people. Libraries and bookstores call my name.

In the past we've done Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, the Earnest movies, Back to the Future, Star Trek, Twilight Zone... I'm not sure what we will watch this year but we pick it out ahead of time so we can be finishing up at midnight. Some years we've had to start early in the day to get them all in!

In the states, I'd like to see Alaska, Hawaii, and the Grand Canyon. I'd love to do a tour of all the national parks. Overseas, I'd love to see Ireland and the countryside of France and Italy.

blog.
I'm late to the game, so all of my predictions would be moot.
