Bucket List

This week Vicki at Tapestry of Life asked for my bucket list.

So, here are 10 things on my do before I die list.

1. Fly in a hot air balloon. Or at least go up in one for a short time. The older I get, the more cautious I get. There's not much protection in those balloons, as beautiful as they might be.

2. Volunteer with a literacy group. Since I'm a retired teacher, I think I would be good at this. Currently, I'm tied up with Mom and Dad and unable to make the commitment that is needed.

3. Take dance lessons with my hubby. He needs to put this on his bucket list if it's ever going to happen.

4. Visit all 50 states. So far I've been to 23 and I'm 58. I'd better start traveling, don't you think?

5. Take piano lessons. Let me explain. I took lessons as a child and can play. But I never learned to improvise and that's what I would love to be able to do. I'm not even sure if that is something that can be taught.

6. Learn to sew.

7. Make a quilt. I actually have one I pieced years ago that I would be happy to finish. It's sewn together, just not quilted.

8. Run a 5K. I'm sure my daughter will laugh at this one. No, she'll encourage me.

9. Visit the Holy Land.

10. See the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in NY.

(I stopped adding clipart because I'm having trouble with blogger this morning.)

Favorite candy:

This would be a tie between Snickers and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.

I hope you'll visit Vicki and add your own bucket list.
