An Easy Bucket List For Me

My bucket list was easy
Own my own orphanage
not yet
Own an animal farm
I have rescued nineteen dogs and twelve cats
Be a grandmother
I have ten grandchildren from 21 to 5
Live in the country
I live on six acres and can hear roosters
Goats live behind me
Two cows live next to me
Write for a newspaper
I have written for forty-two of them
Be a secretary
I have done this
Be a race car driver
You should see me drive to work
Play with children
I am an elementary school counselor
I did not know I would love these things, or I would have added them
to my bucket list: cartooning, painting, drawing, and writing poetry

God always gives double blessings to those who are thankful for the rest!

Yours is a fine bucket list, Caren. I want to hear about it when you start your orphanage. You do know that you can be a foster parent...but I don't you'd be ready for that just yet.

I am a foster parent for a big galoot of a dog who ate an entire chess game yesterday - the instructions, the cards and the box. He spit out the plastic men; I guess they were not tasty.
