We
hear all the time about people’s bucket lists. I hadn’t even really thought
about making one because I just want to do everything.
Okay, maybe not quite everything, but a lot of things. But my niece who is 16
talks all the time about her bucket list. So I decided maybe I should come up
with something, too.
Currently
my list includes visiting a dude ranch, parasailing, possibly hang gliding,
going to as many other countries as I can, zip lining, and attending the big
balloon festival in Albuquerque. In truth, my list could go on and on. You’d
think from some of the more physical items that I was some kind of adrenaline
junkie, but I’m not really. I am curious about things, sometimes a bit too
daring (at least according to my daughter and husband).
I
have managed to check off one item that would have been on my bucket list: hot
air ballooning. Earlier this month I had the opportunity to ride in a balloon
over the Napa Valley. I LOVED it! And, yes, I’m shouting about it. It was
everything I thought it would be and more.
Oddly,
as soon as we went up and I first looked down, the first thing that came to my
mind was that I was actually living the eye test I have every year. Do you
remember that one? Where they try to adjust how you see this balloon hovering
over some fields? I swear that view was Napa Valley.
So…what’s
on your bucket list? Anything wildly
exciting?
Oh,
my writing list would include writing another couple of dozen books for
Decadent Publishing. I just had a new story, Acceptance, come out with The Edge Series. And I’m working on three
other stories: one is a sequel to The CEO
and the Cowboy, one is another 1Night Stand story, and one is for the
Challenge Series.
