The other day I told LB and Magpie that I wanted to go to Greece before I died.

I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Greece.

LB said we ARE going to grease. Ain’t he the comedian?

Then LB said you should add it to your bucket list.

You saw the movie right? The Bucket List? Jack Nicholson? Morgan Freeman?

So I am going to start a bucket list.

As depressing as that is, here goes:

  1. I want to go to Greece (NOT grease)
  2. I want to learn to play the drums
  3. I want to have the guts to tell Neil Young and Keith Richards that I play the harmonica way better than them
  4. While I play great rhythm guitar, I want to also learn to play LEAD. Vocals? Just never had the time.
  5. I want to write a best selling novel.
  6. Heck, I’d like to write a novel period, no time tho. It would be NICE if it were a best seller.
  7. I want to experience the wilderness and fishing in Alaska. I want to see the Northern Lights.
  8. I want to meet Jack Nicholson in person.
  9. I want to go to New Zealand AND Australia.
  10. I’d love to live in a secluded cabin up north for a winter, with lots of snow. With plenty of food and firewood. Crackling fire, my dear sweet husband, and while it seems unlikely, a really good internet connection so I could write and enjoy the surroundings.
  11. I want to go out back (NOT in the Australian sense but in my own backyard), and dig worms from my treasured “worm bed” that grows them so well. I want to take a houseboat out to the lake, and live there on rations for days, fishing with my worms, and drinking homemade wine and beer and CALLING that a vacation, cause it IS!
  12. I want to get up one morning, and do it all over again, cause Lord Have Mercy, what a ride I’ve had. God has blessed me in so very many ways.
  13. I want to talk to a soldier who served in this endless puzzle of madness, and tell him how happy I am that he made it back home.
  14. I want to build a cabin on the lake, near a really good fishing hole, and canoe out to it daily and do the fish and return thing until I caught one big enough for supper.
  15. I want to go to the mountains in Ellijay Georgia during Apple Season, and bring back a bushel of every variety I taste and like. FUJI would be in that mix, but oh what a delight to go to Ellijay in the fall and raft the river, and eat apples of all kinds, and gather many for wine making. Life is so wonderful.
  16. I want to go to Maine and eat lobsters.

    17. more as they come up
