Growing up you are always dreaming and thinking of all the things that you want to do when you grow up. When you get older, you start to think about the things you want to do before you die. You may make a bucket list or life list. For me, I have lists of places I’d love to go, people to meet, and things to do. However, these aren’t things that I necessarily want to do before I die, just things I’d like to be able to say I did them.
I’m a female and well, we are always changing our minds or adding new things to our lists. I’m going to start with this list and periodically update it when things have been completed or to remove or update the list with new items. These items are in no particular order, just the order in which I thought of them and added them to the list.

That is quite a list you have there. am really a homebody and am now doing what I most always wanted to do since I am semi-retired. I always wanted to be able to stay home and read lots of books!!
Love your bucket list. I’ve said for such a long time I was going to make mine, but nope. Slacker.
You know, I’ve been blogging for over 13 years and well, that’s how long it took me to finally put mine in writing on here!
This is a great list! Quite a few of those would be on my list too!
Half of your list are stuff I’d like to do! Ha! I’m gonna think of mine now!
I finally broke down and wrote mine out in this post because I saw someone else had posted theirs.
