Months ago, my Hubby was watching some sports show called 30 at 30, or something like that. And as we were talking, I had the thought that as my 60th Birthday would be approaching that I should come up with a 60 at Sixty list. A list of 60 Events, Times, People or Things. Etc. that Impacted my Life and have helped to make me the person I am today! We had a "Sweet 60" Birthday Party where everyone dressed up like the 60's to Celebrate! And I posted my list. It was fun looking back and answering questions about some of the items on the list. I thought I would share it here as well, so enjoy!
