    Funny, riding a horse is on mine too. I also want to visit the Middle East, but they are making that a bit tricky right now with all the shooting going on. It would be a bit stupid to survive BC and then go  get blown up by some Jihadist dude.

    I am a husband and caregiver. I know my wife was not diagnosed stage 3 (and I hope it's OK I'm here... You ladies comfort me on tough days).



    I want to dance with my wife at my daughters' weddings. They are 4 & 8 now.



    That is my dream.



    I also wouldn't mind babysitting our grand kids with my wife.



    Everything else is just details.



    Bless you all.

    I bought an electronic keyboard that I'm learning to play.  The music I've learned so far is very simple, but I enjoy it.  

    I've learned to knit, and do that at odd moments.

    I've begun reading again, nothing heavy, just mysteries, something I stopped doing when dx with BC.

    Today I made Madelleine cookies, and am making paella for dinner,  YUM.

    I've put up a bird feeder and a humming bird feeder and have birds galore in the backyard.  My cats can't get them, but are sure entertained.

    Spent some time pulling weeds in my mom's back yard.  We got to talk.  It doesn't sound like much but was really a special time.

    We're enjoying some warm, sunny days.  I love California on days like this!

    I guess I'm like Karen on this one.  I don't really have a "list".  But, I do make sure I am spending some time doing things that make me happy.  That fill me up, not drain me down (well, besides school..but that's almost over).

    To sing as well as I can

    Go to Las Vegas and stay in The Venetian

    Go back to Florida

    Ride a lazy river or go tubing (several plans for this last summer failed)



    I'm going to see my son graduate from college in May, and I'm out in Seattle now to help him find an apartment for when he starts his job at Microsoft in the summer. Life doesn't get much better than that, does it? So lucky and blessed to be here for this.

    I would like to be making love with my husband of seventy years (that would make us both in our nineties), on the pool table, and right after...well, you know...we're both blissfully swept away to heaven, leaving our clammy carcasses behind and locked together for the fire department to find.

    Oh, yeah.  That would rock.

    I want to grow old with my husband and die of natural causes in my sleep.

    I also want to see my beautiful daughters really happy even though they are adults.

    I would like to ride in a helicopter and maybe learn to fly one.

    I want to spend 10 days in Hawaii with my husband and also take an Alaskan cruise.

    I want to fully live for however many years I have left and I would truly like to help someone else everyday.

    My daughter asked me to write out what I would do if I had a pot of gold...and could only spend it on myself.  I think with the bucket list, we need both TIME and money, most precious of which is TIME.

    I would take a tour of Scotland and England and another trip to Australia.

    Quit my job and spend more time with my kids.

    Ride my bicycle 100 miles

    Take cooking classes

    Hold my future grandchildren

    Complete my 'life list' of books I want to read

    Grow old with my husband and drink tea in the evening together

    Maxine, that was lovely.  When I see elderly couples together, helping each other along, I have such a longing to experience that too.

    My kids are grown, so I guess I can take that one off my list, but I'd like to see them happily engaged in a career and partnered with someone they love and who loves them as much as I do.

    I have mixed feelings about travel. There are a few places I'd like to see for the beauty, but photos seem to be pretty satisfying, plus a lot cheaper. Still, it would be exciting to actually walk along the Great Wall in China.

    I'd like to put hardwood floors in my home, and have my sofa and some living room chairs reupholstered in fabric of my choosing.

    I wanted to share that today I saw my son graduate from college, magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa! Although I wasn't diagnosed when he was very young...it was when he was starting his junior year of college...I still wanted to share it with all of you in the hope that it provides some inspiration for all.

    I want to take my daughter and her husband and 4 children on the tropical vacation that they have wanted and haven't been able to afford. I want to see my grandchildren learn to snorkel and see them having a wonderful time. I used to jump horses competitively. During cancer treatment, I retired my horse who was getting older. I am getting older,too( I will be 60 this month), but I still want to compete at another horse show! I bought myself a wonderful little companion- a Coton de Tulear puppy- she makes me laugh and brings me lots of joy- definitely getting a dog was on my list. I want to go to Italy and visit the Vatican and see the works of Michealangelo and DaVinci.

    I have actually just crossed off many things on my bucket list! I saw both my kids graduate college and get jobs! I went with my parents to Italy and was there when the new Pope was elected, and I flew over the Alps. Im working on them!!
