There are 43 items in the list. When it got to 19, it started over again. I guess I need to both to learn some code. Who am I fooling? I have no intention of learning code.

After much blood, sweat and tears I got it fixed when I moved it over here. But I lost the picture which is buried somewhere in an old Photobucket account. I will see if I can get it back later. It’s the view between the green gates at the top of Grandma’s hill.

But I’ll give you a picture - an old one. Is that ok?

A wonderful list. (I won’t learn code, either.)

That’s a darn good list full of simple, abundant things. It’s good to remember the things that make us happy, and then to actually make them let us feel happy.

Old pics, new pics. They are all great.

Those are all good things, too often overlooked.
