 I stayed in the 300 Clifton The Eugene J. Carpenter Mansion

 As of Oct 2016, I have read about 150 books on goodreads. It has taken me close to 5 years to complete this challenge.  it is a very long goal, but well worth it.  I recommend borrowing books from the library and pace yourself.

 For a YEAR, I have donated change to gas station donation jars, Walmart, Co-Op's & St. Jude's Research Hospital and even tipped Starbucks. I plan to continue donating. 

I have always wanted to send a message in a bottle.  So, I got this really cute item of the internet and let the bottle drift away. 

 I took a soy candle making class

 I finally finished this goal. I have always wanted to tye dye t-shirts and I made several t-shirts for Christmas presents of 2019.

 It took me awhile to get this done. I recommend trying to watch the older movies for FREE and then renting DVD's from the library.

 I have always wanted dreads since the 1990's but was concerned about dreads not looking good on me, so I stumbled upon a website on youtube that shows how to make using the dreads in the wild method. It looks alright and I need to pick ...

 I have always wanted to see the Hollywood sign and Hollywood Walk of Fame

I started at Penn Station and ended at Union Station for under $200. I have always wanted to travel cross country on a train and take as many pictures as possible. I would recommend bringing some of your own food on trip. 

 I have mixed feelings of the experience. Words can't really express the museum, they have close to 3,000 pictures of people who died, entire wall to the cealing. plus other items in memory. 

 Since my early twenties I have wanted to visit Boston and finally made it here. I took a tour of the Freedom Trail, which is a must for this trip, plan to go to Musuem of Fine Arts and boat ride

 I just bought a cheap gingerbread house at Walmart. It isn't as easy as it looks as far as decorating it.

Took a train on the North Shore. Stayed in coach, which guess the car was about 100 years old. Two Harbors is a pretty, small town. It was an affordable ticket, but maybe in the fall with the colors of the leaves changing.

SInce I live in the midwest, the is a Light House right here

I have had a friend for years, who grew up with kidney transplants, so I can sympathisize with him, plus having a brother die of AIDS, so I figure if they can use any of my organs to help someone life longer and fulfill there dreams, tha...

I do have a tendency to travel to places that are beautiful scenery! However, this time, I chose a city that was on my way to Niland & Slab City, called El Centro. A little off the beaten track, a run down area about 20 min from Mexi...

 I booked my Sedona Tour through www.tours4fun.com.  They offer hotel pick up, trips to Heritage Museum(Boring), Holy Cross Church(Small, but cool) & the Red Rocks as well as ...

I have been creating a Family tree on ancestry.com for about 8 months. 

I have very long hair and I tried dying my hair turquoise and it didn't work. Later, I used Beyond the Zone Bleach kit. I like it and may not add a color.

My friend Joey who has several kidney transplants. Then I find out that he was on a waiting list for ONLY 10 DAYS AND HE GOT A KIDNEY DONAR. I say that is a miracle because people have been placed on waiting list and died before receivin...

 Since I was visiting San Diego, I decided to get a peek at Tijuana. I ended up at  a dive hotel, people were nice, it was more so the area. Crossing the borders was pretty simple!

I have always wanted to go on a Whale Watching tour since I lived in Washington. So, I ended up taking a tour with the San Diego Whale Tour off of Mission Bay. I did see citings of seals, gray and minke whales 

I spent a couple of days in San Diego. I seemed to spend a lot of time on trains. I passed up Sea World since it was raining and expensive. So, on the second day, I went on a Whale watching tour. 

I bought a bunch of hiking gear and since I took a trip to Yosemite National Park, I decided that I would go hiking there. I had to start small so I decided on a short, flat surface of 3 miles to Mirror Lake.

 I had this on my bucketlist and deleted for some reason. Anyway, I did stay at the Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Hostel in the Merced River Cabin. It was my first time spending the night in the forest.

I have been wanting to go to the Yosemite National Park after going to Muir Woods last year. There are several falls in Yosemite including the most popular El Capiton and the little and big Yosemite Falls. The park has a lot to offer inc...

 I liked reading the Hobbit when I was in 7th grade and would like to re-read it, as well as the Lord of the Rings Trilogy

I have had an REI membership for a couple of years and decided to get some gear for hiking and camping, mainly hiking.

 I donated a used phone to Domestic Violence & Child Advocacy Center.

 I have been wanting to go to the Grand Canyon for about 10 years now. So, I took a tour of the South Rim from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon. We made a couple of stops on the way, and saw Mojave Desert, the Hoover Dam at night from vehic...

 I was going to use the name Violet, since if I had a girl baby, that is what I named her, but when I went up to the counter, I told the woman Rudy, which is close to my name.

 I have always wanted a Claddagh Ring since my early 20's. Irish symbolism , the heart for love, the hands for friendship, and the crown for loyalty. I got a Classic Sterling Silver Claddagh Ring with the Silver being from Ireland.

For about 5 years now, I have been an avid reader, mainly of classical literature, as well as fiction. Last year I completed my reading challenge and stepped it up a notch this year.

 I have always wanted to pick a gift from an Angel Tree. So when the town put up a tree, I decided on clothing for a 6-9 month old girl. I got her a couple of sleepers, alfits, socks and booties.

 Well I went through Groupon to get a discount for AncestrybyDNA and theiir are four categories, European(EU), Indigenous American (IA), Sub-Saharan African (AF) & Eat Asian (EA). Well, most people who take the test are 74% European(...

 They have really cool sunrises & sunsets, with a warm, red tone that I would like to photograph.

 I have an account with e-rewards and by completing surveys, I was able to donate $50 to South America.

It have not worked on a puzzle since the early 90's. I chose Puzzle Collector ART 1000 by Cindy Mangutz of Port Townsend, WA. I have lived in Washington and have visited Port Townsend ! It is a small town, Victorian architecture, artsy s...

Take pictures of the surrounding area beginning on October 14, 2016.  I ended up taking photo's mainly of sunset and sunrise pictures for 30 days. There are interesting red hues, clouds and some amazing pictures.

 Sometimes during the holidays, I like to donate to help feed people so they can have a meal through the means of donations.  When my family was not close by, I have attended one of these events and was thankful!

 I live in a small town with several abandoned cars, trucks, RV's in people's yards. So, I  thought it would be fun to create a slideshow with old cars and country music.

 I hope it doesn't ruin the microwave.

This is my first one of bucket list.
