So, let's see...

You know about the Marathon.

You heard about the Corn Maze.

Yoga, hmm. It wasn't fun. I didn't like it, but hey, at least I tried it.

Herbs in the windowsill. Well, that is happening right now. In early April, I bought a kit and started my herbs.

I grew Chives, Sweet Basil and Parsley! Really...see!

I haven't used any of the herbs yet since I rarely use fresh herbs, so it's just a matter of figuring out how to use them. The basil smells amazing, though!

The Corn Maze

While at the pumpkin patch, Mr. T and I went through a Corn Maze. There were actually two different ones. What fun!

At one point we split up and went through the maze on our own. Don't worry! We made each made it out. See...here comes Mr. T!


And now I get to cross off #35 on my bucket list!

Don't know why this pic turned out so dark :(

My Bucket List

I've spent the last few days writing and perfecting my Bucket List! There are so many things I say I want to do, should do, will do...so I wrote them all down. There are some pretty lofty wishes and here, but there are also a lot of very simple things I have just never got around to doing. Check out my list...

Does any one else have a Bucket List?
