A Bucket List

Here I was thinking it was another beautiful, cool summer morning (sorry Californians… thoughts and prayers are with you!) and I could do another entry in the Simple Woman’s Daybook.  Or whatever that was called.

Anyway, I head over to Meg’s to see what her Monday is looking like outside her window and find a Bucket List instead.  Cool!  I’ll do that.  (They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery…)

So, some things I want to do before I buy the farm, push up daisy’s, sleep with the fishes, cash in my chips, 

Kick the Bucket (list)

• See my children happy as adults
• Hopefully with solid marriages and some grandchildren in the bargain
• float down the Mississippi on some sort of comfortable boat with my Dear Heart and then sail up the Atlantic coast
• discover that elusive thing that my Dear Heart and I will do together, happily, for the rest of our lives
• become one of those History Live! kind of reenactors… I’m working on this one.  Sealy is my other name. 
• play an instrument by ear (I read music, so the “by ear” part takes some doing for me)… maybe a recorder?
• Explore Ireland
• See and explore the Galapagos Islands
• Vacation in the Florida Keys (I’ve heard it’s not all that anymore… but I still want to do it)
• Get this house fully remodeled to mine and my Dear Heart’s total liking (THIS will keep us alive until we’re into our 90’s or kill us one!)

 I’m sure there’s probably more… but I’ve oddly come up with a “perfect” 10, so I’ll stop there until that other brilliant thing pops into my head.
