Welcome to our blog.
This was our original purpose for creating this blog:
We are both baby boomers fast approaching sixty. This blog will chronicle the time leading up to reaching our significant day. Our mutual goal is to complete sixty specific tasks each by our 60th birthdays, and to both celebrate our experiences and our accomplishments.
We are "the fabled tortoise" in this effort. Our blog will begin with a slow start, so we ask for your patience. We are aiming for a strong finish, so we ask for your encouragement. We invite you to join us on our journey, laugh and cry with us, and celebrate with us. We encourage you to leave us your comments and feedback. Most of all, we hope you become inspired to perhaps create and complete your very own "___ by ___ list."
We borrowed this idea from a blog one of our nieces told us about: http://makingitlovely.com . The author is working on her list of "30 Before Thirty."
As we progressed we continued to reflect on the process and the progress:
We would like to make a point of clarification. Because we did not begin our endeavor until April that left us both with less than a year to complete all 60 tasks on each of our lists. Actually, JR has about four months and CEA has about seven months. For that reason we agreed that we would both use CEA's birthday so that we both have the same amount of time to complete our tasks.
Now we are both 60 and moving forward. We have decided to continue the blog, setting goals and celebrating our accomplishments, sharing our experiences and voicing our thoughts, and enjoying life by making the most of every day with which we are blessed.

Thank you for sharing. How do you think the vitamin regime is working?
I am feeling perkier, but I didn't want to mention it, because I think I should give the new vites more time before endorsing them! I retook the "Real Age" test today, and my score improved because of the vitamins (one has to enter the actual dosage of certain minerals and vitamins), but I'm still short in some areas.
I have picked up a bottle of Garden of Life's "Vitamin Code for 50 & Wiser Women." I really like the fact that here are live probiotics in the vitamins. I started them this morning.
Note: I was "off" the vitamins for a week when I finished the first bottle, and boy, oh boy, did I feel the difference! Big sister reports that you are supposed to skip the vitamins one day a week.
