Get R Done Friday

HERE!

Cheerio!

Today's Get R Done (from London) has been a long time coming.

Backstory:

In January 2008 the Pink Princess

was accepted into a year-long program of study in India.

That's India as in the subcontinent ....

not a typo of Indiana!

As we finalized her air travel

in August of 2008

we decided to add

a couple of days in

LONDON

to her itinerary.

Just for fun.

Thought that sounded a

bit more her style than

3 days in Quatar

another transfer option.

So I was on the phone making

hotel reservations

and mapping out fun things

AND

Mr. Sammy Girl said

"why don't you go with her?"

me - What? .... Can't

him - You sure?

You'd enjoy it.

Why don't you go?

me - No. ... too much money.

him - come on ...

you know you've always wanted to.

Why don't you go?

me - finally coming to my senses

and realizing he might not

ask a third time ...

OKAY!

End result was a 5 day trip to

LONDON

with 2 weeks notice.

I decided

NOT TO VISIT

the places he would like the most

and that

he and I would

visit when we were in

LONDON TOGETHER.

Current day:

We are now in London.

The two things he has always wanted to do?

Visit the Prime Meridian in Greenwich

and see the Rosetta Stone.

DONE DEAL - BABY!

Even more importantly, we are talking about the things we have always wanted to do but felt there were barriers in our way. Are those the things we still feel are important? And are the barriers real or imaginary? We are going to find out!

As our parents age we realize NOW is the time to determine what we want to do with the rest of our lives .... set priorities and take steps to make the dreams reality.

Hugs and may your dreams - whether large or small - become reality!
