Sherry's Bucket List

You probably know this drill.  Make a list of things you want to accomplish before you "kick the bucket."  Made famous by the popular box office hit Bucket List.  This is my list which is a work in progress and may change as the years go by.  Some things have already been accomplished, some things will take a lifetime to accomplish, and some things (hopefully only a few) may never come to fruition, but here it is in all its glory:
