I noticed #27 on your bucket list is a meditative retreat. I am a Christian pastor’s wife and direct an annual retreat called Be Still Retreat. You are invited! http://www.bestillretreat.com or go to my FB page: Be Still Retreat/Beth Ladd (we have 3 dates/3 locations in WA, OR, ID and plan to add more in the future! the idea is to practice Psalm 46:10 which says: “Be still and know that I am God”) Hope you can join us!! …love your pictures and I am a grandma too!! doesn’t seem possible but time flies by! We are just finishing our Beth Moore Bible study (The Patriarchs) on Tuesday nights and as I look at your beautiful photos I have been blessed!! Thank you!!

great list–i have notebooks of ideas and I’m going to start a list like this too.
I’m a little ways from retirement, but I think I should start now!
And I just did number 21 on your list last Fall! It was fun!

Your list has made me too tired to continue, I think.
I sincerely hope you get to every single thing on that list!!

Love #31 – I went on a trip to Nicaragua to deliver the boxes a few years ago. And after spending some time on the West Coast this fall, #15 looks pretty good too : )

For goodness sake, you have a lot crossed off already. You are one adventurous spirit!

Great list! It is always great when you can cross something off and even greater when you can look back and relive those moments.
