I liked this list when I first saw it because there are things that I have not done but might some day. I changed number 3. It was about singing, no one wants me to do that anyway. After having just done it I think every one should experience a Mardi Gras parade for them selves in New Orleans. I need to thank my husband for making so many of these happen!
