Bucket List Revision
So, up to earlier this year, my bucket list was a whole bunch of travel. Macchu Piccu, Australia, African safari, etc. A few other things, but mostly travel.
So ... that has changed ...
So this summer, it's been more like:
- Go through the State Fair Food Parade. Which was both kind of fun and incredibly sad at the same time. For sure not a substitute for the Fair at all. We did not get tickets at first, but my FOMO overtook me and I won a ticket and so we went and were able to have Sweet Martha's cookies and mini donuts so all was good.
- "Test drive" a DeSoto. Ok, I didn't really get to drive it, though I bet I could have convinced him to let me. Turns out that Jerry, who owns Vintage Village in Osakis, has a small herd of vintage cars as well. Who knew? That guy keeps on surprising.
- Try zip lining. The last time I had an opportunity to try we were in Costa Rica and Beatrix was 5 and weighed about 30 pounds, so that was not happening. Beatrix's Girl Scout troop did a high ropes course (and those girls were awesome at it!) at Sand Creek Adventures in Jordan, and then we all got to do the zip line. It was amazing!
- Visit a sunflower field. Until this year, I did not even know that these existed.
I'm developing a new list, along the lines of the current one — so much less dramatic. Like learn to make macarons. Visit Marc Heu Patisserie, and the new Martina patio. I suppose try some new taprooms with Brutus Brewpub.
