My Bucket List

I just signed up for 5 horseback riding lessons. The only time I sat astride a horse was a hundred years ago when I took the Scouts to the state park and we rode the trail on a beautiful autumn day. Leaves floated gently to the ground, the sun shone and squirrels played. So, I've decided in the last few days to become friendly with horses. Not too far a stretch for me as I have 3 dogs, 4 cats, a rabbit and 7 fish at home. My husband would like to take an Alaskan or Disney Cruise and travel west to Yosemite and the Grand Canyon. We would also like to take a look at Maine and Arcadia National Park. If my riding lessons go well, I might like to spend some time at a horse ranch and visit Montana. I have been gripped by the story of the Maylasian plane and every morning check the news for developments. My worry for the people aboard the missing plane take some of the sparkle from spring days bright with sunshine and melting snow.
