The Summer Bucket List.......oh my!

Once upon a time I created a bucket list........a life bucket list.  There are all kinds of things on it......some crazy, some rather private but all things that I would really like to do before my time on this earth is done.  Well, most of them I need to do while I am spry (um, dancing on the bar at Coyote Ugly....can't picture me as a 75 year old chick doing that!)

A friend of mine commented that she has put together a summer bucket list.  That intrigued me.  I have lots of things I wish to do, places to go this summer.  Some of them have happened! 
 

I spent a lovely weekend with sone friends in Lake Geneva celebrating birthdays.  One of our most fun trips was the tour on the Lady of the Lake boat.  We were on the water for over an hour learning the history of the homes (ok MANSIONS) and how they came to be.  It was perfect weather, the different stores were lots of fun...we even found a place called the Green Eyed Lady where they make scents for you with essential oils while you wait.  It was super cool!

Next was a quick trip to Minneapolis to visit with a friend and celebrate her birthday with tickets to the Kenney Chesney No Shoes Nation Tour at Target Field.  We saw Kacey Musgraves, Eli Young Band, Zac Brown AND the man himself.  OMG, it was 6 hours of music and did not feel long at all.  We had great people sitting around us and we laughed  the whole time......well, except when we got beer baths (as drunk people forgot which end was up on the bottle as they were getting amourous with their mate .....or I hope it was their mate/date!)

So far the summer has been grand.  Today I purchased a package deal for a winery tour of a vineyard and a wine tasting.  I have an old deal for a paint while you drink.......there are many choices in paintings....not sure this particular one is me but I will peruse their site to see what I like that I want to paint.  By the end of the evening who knows what it will look like......2 glasses of wine (or so) later!!
 
There is lots of time left of this summer, things to see and do.  No time to let grass grow under my feet.......and who knows, maybe this is the summer of dancing on the bar....... *wink wink*

  1. Elaine, if you opt to dance on the bar during the reunion, I'll bet some of us would join you! LOL Anyway, GOOD FOR YOU for having such a FUN Bucket List! I look forward to reading about more of them as you cross them off the list...
