Bucket List



A young, yet very wise co-worker, who I would consider a friend, mentioned that she was doing an annual bucket list with items equal to her age...so 25 new things at 25 years old; or in my case, 35 at 35.  I thought this was an amazing idea, so I adopted it for myself and thus starts my adventure.  However, I had a hard time stopping at 35, so I keep adding.

Circus Slang

24-hour Man — Employee who travels the route 24 hours before the rest of the circus, putting up roadside arrows to direct travel and making sure the lot is ready. Aba-daba — Any dessert served in the cookhouse. Advance — Teams of employees traveled ahead of the circus route to put up posters and arrange for advertising, often visiting each town several times (four weeks, two weeks and one week before the show.) They often traveled on dedicated "advance cars" or "bill cars," rail cars carried on freight trains, and had just one day at any stop to carry out their assignments. Both the team and its ad campaign were simply called "the advance." "Bill Posters" pasted multi-sheet posters on the outsides of buildings and fences with buckets of flour-and-water paste, long-handled paste brushes, and ladders. "Lithographers" bartered with local merchants, trading passes for the right to place one-sheets, half-sheets, and panels in store windows. ...

Milk a Cow

Image
Visited Shatto Milk dairy farm today! My husband happily went along (which was surprising). We took our new (to us) Cadillac convertible; too bad it rained. We had a great time touring the tasting room, milking room, and bottling area. I'm pretty sure we were the only ones without kids, so we "borrowed" a few along the way.  Milking a cow; checked off my bucket list! It was easier than some movies and TV shows make it out to be; but I'm glad I don't live on dairy farm.  After we had all the milk samples we could take. We headed to a few a wineries. Meet the wonderful owners of  Black Silo Winery . One winery,  Windy Wine , even had "Fully Cocked", instead of "Fully Cooked" sausage...just the way I like it! Remember the rain, we decided to push our luck and not put the top up. We got completely soaked and then couldn't get the top to latch and had to drive all the way home (60 miles) with our hands out the window holding it...

Eat Caviar

April 11, 2015 Boom, eat Caviar checked off my bucket list!  Amy Q surprised me with reservations for us at 801 Fish to try Caviar.  We ate Russian Osetra Caviar and it was amazing. I was so surprised by the thoughtful gesture and the interest she has in helping me check off new things.  I know its not just for me, I can see the excitement she gets too. According to gourmet food sources... "Considered the most flavorful and elite caviar by critics, Ossetra (often spelled Asetra or Osetra Caviar) is one of the most desired types of caviar in the world. It can look, smell, and taste a little different each time you try it due to abundant varieties (see below). Generally nutty and buttery in taste, the savory roe ranges in color from deep black to light gold and almost white. The texture of Caspian Osetra caviar tends to be a bit firmer than other types of caviar, yet still delicate. The Ossetra sturgeon fish, found mainly in the Caspian Sea, is usually harvested in Ira...
