Before I Kick that Ole Bucket…

Here’s My List

“Bucket List” was the latest writing prompt from our smallish writers group in our smallish community of Oley Valley, PA. The group meets twice a month in our smallish (but busy) library. I decided to post my contribution here.

I’m doing this backwards. I already posted about my “Death” — or what I want done in the unlikely event I don’t live forever.

So now for my Bucket List.

1. I want to go back to England for my sixth visit. I went alone on my first trip. I figured if I waited for someone to go with me, I’d never get there. When the plane touched down at Heathrow, I cried — I felt as if I’d come home. It was a coach trip just through England. But I went back, alone and in groups, four more times. Now I want at least a week (another) in Glastonbury. I want to walk up the Tor on May 1st, while I still can, and look down on the “dragon’s breath” over the town. I want to walk up Cadbury hill again and “see” Camelot.

2. I want to go back to Gettysburg and walk around the town again and take notes for the books I’m writing. So I’ll need about a week.
