I was tagged by NC Sue at In Him I Live and Have My Being last week for this MEME. I have tried and tried to think of the top 10 most surprising things I've done. Well it has been a struggle. So here is my meager attempt and in no particular order, certainly not in chronological order.
1. I have been a nurse for 42 years and continue to work.
2. With the aid of a wonderful husband I have raised 5 children.
3. Co-chaired and parish overnight retreat.
4. Got my BA in gerontology at the age of48. Told by my husband that I would be in the forefront of my field my field.
5. I learned to ice skate at the age of 16.
6. Married my best friend 42 years ago!
7. I have 10 lovely grandchildren and another on the way.
8. Made my Cursillo in 1976 when I was 8 months pregnant with my 4th child. That is an entirely different story.
9. Have found that photography is a pleasure and I enjoy making photo books for family and friends.
10. Having become an Associate of the Sisters of Providence has been a fulfilling experience.
Now I must tag some others.
