Grandpa Gil and North Carolina! Wo-hoo!

I’m excited to have a long weekend coming in a few weeks.  In years past, we have gone snow skiing for President’s Day weekend…  I’m not a good skier.  Plus our friends have had life happen to prevent company on our annual trip…  So, I am planning on taking advantage of a long weekend and making a long drive to North Carolina.  What’s in North Carolina? 

That’s where my Grandpa Gil is, well, where he was laid to rest…  He spent his last years there and I found a cousin who is willing to host a few Pye Girls as we come to gather some information and history of a man none of us met.  The cherry on top would be to share the experience with my Dad…  However since he is in Italy, that makes it difficult…  I have debated on waiting until he was home to make the trip, but just today I was reminded – IF you wait, you WON’T!  There is always something that will be important…  You have to make time to learn where you came from so you know better where you are going! 

ROAD TRIP!  Boy the stories that I will have to share when we come back!  Departing in 7 days!!!!

Why -Bucket List Living NOW?

This is the short answer -

Several years ago my sister and I went sky diving. A day later I visited my FIL who was fighting cancer at the time and I told him what I had just done, his reply - "I always wanted to do that and now I never will get to." Why do we wait until the end of our lives to start living our dreams? And doing the things we want to do? I'm done waiting on something else to happen before I choose ME - I'm bucket list living NOW!



Please join my adventure! If you wait, you WON'T!
