My Bucket List




Life is short - we must make the most of the time we have left - as we can't go back and redo the past... So when the world hands you life - LIVE IT!

MY SUMMER BUCKET LIST
(random order)


Spend as much time cuddling and loving my boys as I can
Spend a night away with some friends, be able to let loose and be free to be silly ME
Watch Nights In Rodanthe - again...
Go paddle boating with the kids
Have a Beach BBQ
Take my boys on a Grunion Run
Take my boys fishing
Build a giant sandcastle
Play in a fountain and laugh like no one is watching
Go Camping at the Beach
Fly a kite
PLACES I WANT TO EXPERIENCE BEFORE I DIE:
Mission Trip to Africa to see Dorothy and Rosine - my adopted little girl
New England in the Fall
Experience the Mediterranean
See my boys enjoying the magic of Hawaii again
Montana to photograph wild horses

RANDOM THINGS I WOULD LOVE TO DO...

Go whale watching with my boys

Go horseback riding on the beach

Ride down the coast on the back of a Harley
Watch snow fall from inside of a log cabin in front of a fire with no entertainment other than music and a good book
Splash barefoot in the rain giggling and laughing with my boys
Grow a huge Garden with exotic fragrant flowers



Hold and drink in the aroma of newborn baby (not mine) - there is something so miraculous in this...
Publish a book
Swim with or get really close to sea turtles
Be photographed in a field of flowers surrounded by my boys
(I have no photos of them and me together)
Spend a day at the Spa (I have never done this)
Awake to the sound of the ocean and go to sleep by it too...
(the real ocean - not my sound machine)

MATERIAL POSSESSIONS I WOULD NOT MIND HAVING:

A hammock under 2 shady trees somewhere with an ocean breeze

Another Coton De Tulear Puppy since my Romeo is gone away (he is living with Grandma and Grandpa and they all love each other so!) We'll get JULIET!

The $500 Tiffany Somerset Ring with 4 Diamonds - one stone for each of my sons
this would
replace my Wedding Ring
The Tiffany XOXO Charm Bracelet that Turner saw on a teacher when he was 4. He said "I want this for my mama, she knows how to draw XOXO's SHE is a BIG girl!"

An MP3 Player - I LOVE MUSIC!

Beach Cottage in South Carolina

It's not about what you want - it's about loving what you've got!
It is fun to dream a little dream!


I may add to this as I think of more - and I will let you know if I accomplish any of these too!
