The Bucket List Meme

[dragonheart]

Inspired by Tony's bucket list.  This was actually heartundone 's idea, but as she is pressed for time, I volunteered to start it.

What's on your bucket list? 
1. Ride on a train (yes, zaedah I am looking at you)
2. Visit Australia and New Zealand
3. Write something other than fanfiction
4. Pet a polar bear
5. Learn to play golf
6. Sing a solo
7. Make a GIF
8. Ride a donkey all the way to the bottom of the Grand Canyon
9. Buy a horse
10. Find the diamond ring I lost 10 years ago in my front yard

You've never been on a train? What about a subway on that trip to New York? It counts!

[dragonheart]

oh yes! I have been on many subways but never a passenger train.

When I visited zaedah last month, we were going to take the train into Philly but it didn't work out.

Where I live - there are no passenger trains (only freight) it's cars or buses.

Ahhh, I so sympathize with your ring! I lost my engagement ring sometime this past spring, and I suspect it is gone for good. I have a sneaking suspicion that my son got ahold of it and either flushed it or threw it in the trash! DOH!

I liked no.2 very much. There are lots of wineries near where I live.

For no. 7 http://gifninja.com/

Never been on a train, wow.

I'm so gonna do this meme.

It's not my fault!!!!

Blame the Edgar Allen Poe house for being situated just out of walking distance from the Philly Museum. Which means we had to drive. Sadly we were so tired we forgot all about poor Poe. Again, not my fault!!!

Just means you have to come back up here and we'll take the train anywhere you want to go!

I sure hope that wasn't your engagement ring?

Come on up to Niagara, I'll teach you how to play golf!

[dragonheart]

Nope, not my engagement ring - but I do have an interesting story regarding that ring - remind me to tell you sometime.

It was a diamond pinky ring that my husband had bought me before we were married. It was winter and I was standing in our front yard and the ring must have literally fallen off my finger, I was/am devastated. It was a beautiful ring.

[dragonheart]

How much fun would that be - for you to teach me golf?

[dragonheart]

*giggles* as I check the train schdules...

How are my furry little friends?

The fam says "hi"

Maybe you could rent a metal detector? I imagine it might have got pushed down into the soil by now, but that would most likely detect it.

Very sad - I feel for you.

On my wedding day, I had a sixpence in my shoe, given to me by my mother-in-law (an old English tradition, for good luck, and I'm pretty sure it was the one she'd worn when she got married. THAT marriage was interesting - I'll tell you that story when you tell me yours about the ring!). Anyway, we were at the botanical gardens having photos taken, and while walking through the grounds my heel got stuck in the soil. When I pulled my shoe out, the sixpence went flying, and we never found it.

It was an omen. I think I felt kind of the way you did when you lost your ring. *gulp*

[proseac]

Altogether TOO much fun. Hee! This is wine country too - when you drive through the countryside, it's: golf course...winery...winery...golf course...

You get the picture. So...9 holes at Eagle Valley, then lunch at Terroir La Cachette (at Strewn Winery). Sound good?

OMG - we so have to do that one day! I am changing my bucket list item to:

Learning to play golf from Liz and hitting all the wineries in the vicinity.

[proseac]

LOL There is NO WAY we can hit all the wineries in the vicinity. We'd get alcohol poisoning after about the first 5 stops...:)

This is just for starters:

That's ALOT of wine tastings! But hey, I am up for that list. We can do a few every visit - so that means I will be coming back year after year after year (hee)

[proseac]

By all means! You're always welcome - that is, once I'm no longer being held hostage by contractors and I actually get my house back...*grumbles* I would DIE if anyone saw the state of my house right now.

A glass of wine (or two) sounds good right now, actually; might make me forget my troubles...

[dragonheart]

I have found a glass (or two) always makes me feel better.

Go ahead - tell 'em kytivafan says it okay.

[dragonheart]

oh no to actually lose it on your wedding day made the loss even worse!
