There's a Hole in My Bucket . . .

When I joined Pinterest a few months ago, I started a "Bucket List" board to record the things I want to do "someday".  Here's what I have so far:

1. Meet Tim Gunn
2. Build a house on the farm in Kansas where my dad grew up
3. See the Rose Parade in person 
4. Travel to Italy
5. Travel to England, Scotland, Ireland
6. Take a summer vacation at Tyler Place Family Resort in Vermont with all my children/grandchildren
7. Spend a summer on the coast of Maine
8. Take a tour of lighthouses on the Atlantic Coast
9. Attend the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C.
10. Tour the White House at Christmas
11. Watch 4th of July fireworks from the mall in Washington, D.C.
12. Sleep in a glass igloo in Finland to watch the Northern Lights
13. See a whale in the wild
14. Vacation on Macinack Island
15. Have a car customized by Count's Kustoms

Probably very similar to many people's lists.  But, this morning, something sparked the thought that there's a problem with this list - a "hole in my bucket", so to speak.  These are mostly big-ticket, wildest-dreams ideas.  Unless I win the lottery or inherit millions from a rich, reclusive relative I'm not aware of, most of these things aren't going to happen.  At best, a small portion of them will - given I live long enough, the stock market doesn't take another huge hit, and our children eventually graduate from college and become self-sufficient. 

So, I have been rethinking my bucket list and decided I also need to have a smaller-scale, more attainable list of things I want to accomplish, or at least try.  I'm calling it my Mason Jar LIst:

1. Camp overnight at Indian Cave State Park
2. Hike all eleven trails at Indian Cave State Park (2 done)
3. Buy/rent a camper and take a wandering vacation - no plans or itineraries
4. Make an Americana quilt for my bed
5. Read all the books in my house
6. Make a quilt for each of my children/grandchildren
7. Buy a baby doll, make a wardrobe for it, and give it to a total stranger.
8. Host a family reunion for my cousins on my Dad's side (coming in April)
9. Start a Little Free Library
10. Hike to Hanging Falls Lake in Colorado (not hike all the way to Colorado, just from the road to the lake)
11. Start a book club
12. Write a book
13. Serve a meal at a homeless shelter or soup kitchen
14. Lose 11 8 pounds
15. Have a best friend again
16. Make and keep a gratitude journal for a year
17. Decorate my kitchen in Vintage 50's decor
18. Have a different themed Christmas tree in each room of the house
19. Win a blue ribbon at the county fair (sort of, but there were only 2 entries in the category, so I'm not counting it)
20. Meet a fellow book blogger I only know on-line
21. Have an article published in a magazine

I'm sure this will be a fast-growing list, and hopefully I'll be just as quick with marking things off.  I'll update it as I go along.  What's on your list?
