To be frank, some of these scare me. Like watching a lightning storm at sea. And skinny dipping. Yikes! It'd have to be one seriously desserted body of water. And those places tend to be home to critters. That nip.

A few of these I can safely say I'll NEVER do. Like bungee jumping, hitchhiking and sky diving. I'm not sure I'd even fly in a helicopter if given the chance.

But one of these days... I plan to visit Niagra Falls and the Grand Canyon. In fact, we're considering both these spots for our family vacation this year. Considering. I'm not sold on either yet.

And how I've made it to this stage in my life without doing something as simple as going to a drive-in theater... it's a tragedy. Especially considering how many movies I've seen.

I also really want to serve in a soup kitchen one day. Bruce and I considered it one Thanksgiving when we lived in Dallas and had no kids and were far away from family. But we ended up hosting a meal at our home with some friends.

I've wanted to learn to quilt ever since I interviewed some lady quilters years ago when I reported at a newspaper. It could happen.

I'd like to serve on a jury. I think. I've missed my shot so far. Twice. The first time when I was sent the notice days before we moved from Texas with our seven-week-old baby. The second time when we were out of town on vacation.

And I will read the entire Bible. It's a shame to admit that I haven't yet.

Neat list. Makes me think I need to get out more often.
