Bucket List

Well, with a new year, comes new ideas.  My word for the year is SIMPLIFY.  So, with that in mind, here is my simple bucket list as of 2014:

• Take a trip with the family out west
• Take a trip with the family even further out west to Alaska
• Read all the Newbury Award winner books (see link below)

• See San Francisco with my friends from high school soon
• Be able to grow pumpkins in my garden and harvest them!
• Tour the John Deer factory in Moline, Illinois
• Learn how to play the accordion well enough to give a recital
• Learn how to speak Italian (or least enough phrases to get along)
• Compose a short musical work
• Finish a few scrapbooks before son graduates from high school
• Take a trip to Disney World (or Land)

That's a start.  I don't know where it will go from there.  But it is a start.  Happy New Year!
