Bucket Lists - Part Three (Left To Do)

I first wrote about my bucket list in this post, Bucket Lists - Part One (Over 45) and continued it in Part Two (Over 60).

Do you have a bucket list? Do you want one? Should you have one? Is yours full, being filled, being emptied or empty?

I had one that I started in my mid-forties, one of the best times in my life. Recently I came across it and realized I no longer feel the need to keep at it. I've done so much more than many folks, been so blessed to be able to do them.

Yes, I've been blessed to do a lot in my life. Click to read my "after 45" list and the "after 60" list. But there is still more I'd like to accomplish. Here's my outstanding list (always somewhat set in Jell-o):

Hot Air Balloon Ride:
And not just any hot air balloon ride...this all goes back to a memory. My late husband and I were living in the Rochester, NY area (where he was born and raised). We were visiting Letchworth State Park, a beautiful park, especially in the fall. As we walked across an open area, a hot air balloon with several occupants dropped down and the people waved to us, just before rising again. So my wish is for a fall ride, over a scenic color-laden forest!

Attend Scottish Highland Games:
This is an ALMOST made it, several times. Maybe this fall - there is one just outside Nashville, or next spring at the one in Maryville (we bought tickets but didn't make it this year - bad timing).

Visit Scotland:
I mean, after all, Stu is Clan McNicol and from my paternal grandmother, I am Clan MacQuarrie. While we'd both love to visit Australia, Scotland is tops on the foreign countries left to visit list.

Lipizzaner Stallions:
I grew up in love with horses, all horses, anything about horses (future blog post on this). But I especially loved the Lipizzaner Stallions. Some day, I hope to see them perfomr live.

See the Cirque du Soleil performance: Cirque du Soleil is like nothing else. Stu and his late wife saw the production "O" and he raves about it. Just the little bit I have seen on television has only served to wet my appetite to see a show. I'm not picky about what show...LOL!

Take in a Broadway Show: My biggest regret was learning the show "Porgy and Bess" was having it's final performance on Broadway during a time when it would have been extremely difficult for us to get there (and probably already sold out). As a child, my aunt took me to Boston to see the movie. I was young, maybe twelve, and didn't understand the nuances but fell in love with the music and emotions. To this day, I can't hear "Summertime" without getting teary. But I digress, not sure what Broadway show it would be, but someday...

I'm sure more will be added to this list and some may drop off...what's left on your list? I know my years are numbered, by both physical and financial limits. So, what about you. Are you working towards doing/seeing/experiencing any of the items?
