My dearest Julie, I have seen the Grand Canyon, I have a garden;), I have been skiing and skinny dipping, I have watched a sunset on a beach (numerous times), I have kissed a man I loved (but not in Italy), I have ridden a horse and met a fellow blogger.;)
But I definitely still need to simplify my life and get rid of all that stuff!
Great post and am happy to see that you have done so much of what you planned.;)
Thank you for your great comment yesterday dear friend - hope to meet you one of these days to help you achieve another goal on your list.;))
xoxo
Great list!
I've done 8 of those.
However, I'm not inclined to try some, like: "kiss the man I love...in Italy" or "be the happiest girl in the USA" - those just aren't for me.
TS is funny...
I offer the following to save you some time in wrapping up your list of 50 things...some of them are not worth it and here they are: trust me...
camping is not that much fun...there are bugs, bears and lotsa strange sounds you don't want to hear...
sailing sucks big time...motor boats are where it's at...
sky diving? for fools...
cinnamon rolls...GREAT!
watch a sunset? stay later
horses? are high and bumpy...get your thrills in a Porsche...
read every Dickens? get a Kindle...they would be free!
Thatch can help you with the surfing one and you can come over on a Sunday and I will help with the cinnamon roll one. How come you have never seen the Grand Canyon? I have. Didn't we go there on our 6 month vacation with mom and dad?
