A New Bucket List

In the book Slow Time by Waverly Fitzgerald, one of the exercises is to make a "Life List". I prefer the name "Bucket List". Things you want to do before you kick the bucket; as in die.

Here's the beginning of my new list.

1. Go to Ireland

2. Be a published writer

3. Live for an extended time in Scotland

4. Own a vintage truck

5. Become a good watercolorist

6. Make a killer Victoria Sponge Cake

7. Make a Bakewell Tart

8. Make Cornish Pasties

9. Read Samuel Pepys Diary

10. Read the Life of Samuel Johnson by Boswell

11. Grind all my own grain-no more white flour

12. Bake bread consistently

13. Add gingerbread to the outside of our house

14. Go to Tuscany

15. Wear the cutest clothes ever

I could add --To save the homeless and find a cure for cancer, but I don't think that'll happen. Some of my things are quite small, but they're things I really want to do. And isn't that the point of a bucket list? What would be on your list?
