The Ultimate Bucket List? meme

Thank you for your prayers about my father's funeral. It was a lovely, warm service, a fitting tribute for Daddy, and I know he would have loved it. I sang . . . some of the song. :-/ Most of it came out, and what didn't come out . . . well, everyone understood. But all in all, it was a wonderful tribute for a good and godly man. I so appreciate your notes and prayers. I had a great time being with aunts, sisters, brother-in-laws, and cousins I haven't seen in a long time.

And now, on with the pre-scheduled meme . . . enjoy!
