My Bucket List, revisited

Pictured on the right here, the five photos together, my Bucket List. I would love to be able to meet all of them at The Would, in Highland, New York, have a delightful dinner, and just sit around the table and talk with them. I admire all of them, greatly. 

I can only imagine what all they have gone through to accomplish what they have. Work, dedication and more work. 

Angie, well, I just want to look at her, and hear her that husky voice. I imagine her story would be similar to the rest of them though. She is on my Facebook, and she is apparently as "down to earth" as they come. I can imagine that sometime during our "evening," she and I would head to the bar for a beer.

Allison, a competitor and a champion, as are the rest of them. Elena, I admire her for her loyalty to family, and her dedication and athletic ability. I think that before she is done with her career, which is just starting, she will be looked upon as one of the "greats" of Women's Basketball. Jennie Finch has already achieved that goal, and her goal now is to be an outstanding wife and mother, and, to help young ladies achieve their goals.

Now if I can figure a way to have Johnny Mathis there to sing for the evening ...........
