Around the world and then some ...

Irish explorer Johnny Ward has completed the ultimate tour of the globe, and he's not done yet. After decades of traveling and mountaineering, Ward can now claim the Ultimate Explorer’s Grand Slam, which involves reaching the highest peak on every continent and visiting both the North and South Poles in addition to visiting every country. (Oh, he also became the first known Irish person to visit every country back in 2017). He knows his lifestyle is unattainable to most, but that was what pushed him in the first place. Born in Galway, Ireland, Ward told CNN Travel how domestic issues forced him, his mom and his sister to change their names and flee to Northern Ireland — part of the UK — where he would grow up, while his father was in prison. The hardship sparked his passion for travel. Now that he's done the ultimate world bucket list, he says he's putting all his efforts into helping others to achieve their travel goals.  Read the whole story here.

My Mom taught me to find a use for leftover things!

I can use that!

My work area and Penney's you're next ...

I use bits and pieces, mostly torn,

 of this and that ...
