Dear Ms. Matlock,
I am delinquent. Because of all of the Benchmark testing at our school last week, I did not do my “D” assignment. Doesn’t that sound familiar...I am no better than the kids!
Please forgive me for not doing my homework. I know I have NO excuse. I have the choice to either do it or not, but I’d really appreciate it if you would not fail me this time. I will try harder in the future to make a few more hours in the day so I can turn in to you on time. I will not tell you a fib and say my dog ate it...I did it...and I am very sorry.
Sincerely yours,
Genie

I thought windsurfing was on your Bucket List! ;o}
ReplyDeleteYou like fun mysteries? Do you read the Stephanie Plum series? I love them.
Have a fabulous evening, Genie! La
Love your bucket list...it all sounds note-worthy & fun~ except for the cleaning out & organizing the house :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful E. The best you could have done. Thanks for sharing! I love fun mysteries also. Have stacks of series that I have to pick up the next one when ever it comes out. Usually come home with 3 at a time from B & N Books. The 1st in the new Bee Keeping series was a good one.
ReplyDeleteHi Genie. short for Eugenia eh?
ReplyDeleteyou cannot make time , you gotta take the time dear :p don't worry , be happy you did post this week anyway .
What a great post! I love that bucket list. So cool to want to write family history stories at nursing homes.
ReplyDeleteTeresa
Eugenia sounds like a unique name, nice to meet you. hope you get to do all the things on your list
ReplyDeleteI love that you go to nursing homes and write down family history for the elderly. This is such a great idea.
ReplyDeleteYou have the Perfect E Name for this Post, and it was fun to read all about you! Great Bucket List!
ReplyDeleteWe have some Loves in common...sewing quilting knitting...and I want to learn to spin. Photography...me too!
Fun post Eugenia!
What a fun post!!! I got in trouble this week for forgetting an important appointment, so I know just how you feel!!
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful bucket list ... but the organizing part ... do we ever get truly organized??? that's a tough one ... recording family history for the elderly ... that's brilliant and would actually be a very interesting thing to do!
ReplyDeleteLove your post and your bucket list brings me back 6 years when my doc gave me 3-6mo's to live.. I took my sister and two girls on a cruise for some quality time together.. well, I'm still here...
ReplyDeleteloved your post!

Love the bucket list. Love red headed grandchildren also!!!
ReplyDeleteMy son is a red head. Love red heads. Your bucket list looked great.
ReplyDeleteI also teach and have done a million benchmarks...so I totally understand why that would make you delinquent. :-)
How fun! I loved getting to know a bit more about you.
ReplyDelete=)
What fun to red all about you, Genie! Loved seeing your bucket list. :) Hope all your dreams come true.
