Introduction and photos

This blog is part of my desire to share how to live a happy and fulfilling life until it's time to leave. It is partly the story of my friend Rebecca Hughes-Hartogs who turned 90 on June 21st, 2007 and about our trip to China and Mongolia in July 2007. Rebecca's life story and our time together remind me that I can choose how to think about my future years. I look forward to the experiences I intend to create.

There are many stories to tell here. Our family and friends may want to view the trip first so that is where we will begin. Another story is how Rebecca and I met. But the story I find most interesting is Rebecca's story. Her story is like no other I know. 90 years is the longest story and that I will tell in time.

We might start with photos on http://www.flickr.com/photos/sushilamertens/
Photos and comments will continue to be added until this blog declares the project complete.
