Good Morning....the phrase “bucket list” has been around forever, but lately I am hearing it more and more, so guess it is currently the “in” phrase.  And that brings me to today’s post....what is on your bucket list or do you even have one?  I don’t think I really had one but I have been thinking about it and I have a few things, nothing very exciting but here goes....in NO particular order: 

Travel to Italy - Greece - Ireland - Amsterdam - as of now, we will be going to Italy next Spring, was supposed to be this fall, but one of my best friends who is a travel agent, suggested we wait til spring.  So we will, I am expecting to do 2 weeks or so in Italy next spring, and then somewhere else in the fall of 2011.

Key West - Charleston, SC - (these are easy ones, not sure why I have never been to either, but plan to remedy that--maybe this coming fall).

A 2 week cruise--somewhere (this is a problem cause my husband is not crazy about the idea unless he can see land from the ship the entire time.  Why??  I have no idea since even if he can see land, the odds of him being able to swim to it if he had to are slim to none!)

Spend 3-4 months on Oahu each year - this may be attainable in about 2 years from now.

Drive cross country - (younger son has done this 3-4 times, taking a different route each time and has had a ball.  He camps out a lot which will never happen with me, but still)

Completely empty my closet and start over (not a chance!)

Learn how to do more than the basics on a computer

Have someone (like HGTV) come in and redo a few of my rooms - (they make it look so easy).


Grandchildren.............unfortunately nothing I can do about this one and it does not appear to be on either of my son’s bucket lists.  ;)

Empty my mom’s house in the Berkshires; find an auction house to come in and take what no one wants and sell on consignment, and then have the perfect person come along to buy the house.

See, I said nothing special on mine--maybe cause I never really thought about it before.  A few years ago I would have had things like learn to surf, learn to parasail and more of that sort on there, but now, I don’t think so!!

And, to brighten your day, will leave you with this silly little joke.......made me laugh, hope you laugh too.....

An old lady was standing at the rail of the cruise ship holding her hat so that it wouldn’t blow away in the wind.

The woman looked down, then back up at the man and said, “Sir, anything you see down there is 85 years old, but I just bought this hat yesterday!"
