I've been fortunate to travel inside the USA and to Europe when I was younger. I'm content now to just make quilts and sing in a choir. Can't walk any more, so swimming has to be my exercise outlet. I still love to cook and try new recipes, though. And, there are a few stories knocking around in my head, crying to be written down.

My bucket list includes being remembered as a fun grandma, more travels - especially the Holy Lands, a RV trip across the USA, and a 'few' more quilts to make. I accomplished the most important one just recently when my 8 year old DGS told me I was a fun grandma.

What's with us Minnesota gals????? I am happy just the way I am. I have been where I have wanted to go (this side of the "pond", have no desire to go anywhere else except in Minnesota. I love the Echo Trail, I love Ely, Cook, Buyck, Orr, Lake Mille Lacs, the headwaters of the Mississippi River, the Superior National Forest, Minnehaha Falls. Oh yah, I love Hastings - Treasure Island.......Remember the Spiral Bridge????? And most of all, I love my backyard! I don't need a bucket list. Everything I think I have to do is right here. Edie

My best friend always made a big deal over my birthday. After she died I decided to plan something for my birthday every year that I wouldn't ordinarily do in honor of her memory.
The first year I went skydiving. (I only meant to do one, but it turned into 718 skydives over 7 years. Many birthdays after that included skydiving trips.) I've milked a cow, gone to Disneyland in California, took a quilt bootcamp in Colorado...
I'd still like to ride an elephant and a camel. Riding a donkey down the Grand Canyon has always been on my "want to since I was a kid" list too.
I'll have to keep adding things once these are accomplished. My best friend is worth honoring every year!

I guess my bucket list is more personal. I would like another healthy happy 37 yrs with my wonderful husband, I would like to see all my daughters be as happy with their marriages as we are. I would like to see all my grandchildren( 8 going on 9 of them) graduate get married and have a wonderful life and if they want to have children see some of the great grandchildren and maybe travel around in US more and see things here I have not seen yet.

I really don't have a bucket list but I'm 67 soon will be 68 so I want to retire early next year, go on a quilting cruise that one of the local quilt shops is putting together and start to sew some of the beautiful fabric I have and give to nursing homes and needy people. Then just take each day as it comes and be happy with what God has given me.

We have a heavy Irish roots I've been to a few areas where our family is from I'd love to follow up on the rest of the family areas. I'd love to see the pyramids in Egypt I have an aunt that works at the digs over there. A lot of the easier stuff I've already done. I'd give anything to spend a weekend with Amy Butler or Jinny Beyer's!
Hmmm... not sure of anything in the sewing/quilting arena that would be something I "need" to do, but I guess rockhounding would be my "need" to do. I would like to get some herkimers, and a few other gems, but that would be it for now anyway !LOL

I don't have one any more. I have found just going along with with life brings my way works best for me. This way I'm happy with what I have and I don't end up with a lot of "I wants". Every day is a new day and a new adventure.
