How are the above 3 topics linked?  Well, the last two are easy to put together, but it would seem a bit of a stretch to join them to achievement! Firstly, the achievement.  It's been a dream of my son's - a bucket dream ("what I'd like to do before I kick the...

Family ties and celebrations

by | May 24, 2010 |

This year is a bumper year for family celebrations in my family.  My father recently celebrated his 80th birthday, and he is a very young 80 - more like in his 60s, mentally!  It's wonderful to see him so enjoying his life and being really active in many...
