Bucket List

I make a list each year of the stuff I want to do….I’ve never thought of it as a bucket list so much as a “Hey these are goals or things I want to do list!” The list usually includes things like lose 50 pounds, go see a play, or learn how to _______.

Now it’s real y’all, the bucket list to end all bucket lists. Also I reserve the right to update this list at anytime.

  • Live to see my son graduate from high school.
    • See my son have a relationship
    • See my son make Eagle Scout
    • See my son get his driver’s license
  • Visit all 50 states as a family
    • See the Grandy Canyon
    • See Mt. Rushmore
    • Go to DC / See all the things
    • See Boston and Salam Mass.
    • Visit Yellowstone
    • Go to Pigeon Forge / Gatlinburg
    • Go to New Orleans / Ride on a riverboat
    • See the red woods
  • Go see a play
  • Go to Disneyland / world
  • Go to the symphony with the kiddo
  • Go to a girl’s night paint night (due to the lack of dexterity / strength in my hands this is purely for my own entertainment)
  • Go see some live music
  • See all the movies – the good, the dumb, the brilliant – all of them
  • Record my voice
  • Write some new poetry
  • Read some old poetry
  • Take some photos while I still can
