My new bucket list

My husband called to ask what we could do to honor my dad on what would have been his 65th birthday. I had to laugh a little when all I could come up with was:
1) Work hard all day long
2) Eat leftovers from the back of the fridge
3) At night, settle in with the History Channel or a BYU game.

Lol.

So, I will continue the list with some more funny things, then maybe some serious ones.

*Read the newspaper. From cover to cover. Seriously. (I used to call my dad "Interactive NPR.")
*Tell a REALLY corny joke with a completely straight face.
*Take your daily trip to Lowe's.
*Cook up some venison, and try to get each of your kids to take a bite.
*Go on a fishing trip with no tent and no food, just a tarp, a frying pan, and fishing gear.
*Rub someone's feet.
*Lie in the middle of the floor while your children run past you -- try to grab their feet.
*Chase your tween girls into the path of a porcupine, then stand back and watch as hilarity ensues. Do not tell them until afterwards that porcupines CANNOT shot their quills.
*Pretend to be an opera singer.
*Make animal sounds, especially a cow.

But seriously.....,
*Read scriptures
*Help someone
*Read something that expands my mind
*Listen to someone's problem, then come up with advice that is nothing you would have thought of, but is exactly what is needed.
*See something from someone else's point of view.
*Take in a stray -- usually a person.
*Tell a story to a child.
*Teach someone to understand the gospel in a way that they have never understood it before, and that makes it delicious to them.
*Fix a car, an appliance, a plumbing or electrical problem, a house, or whatever else might be broken.
*Give compassion to someone who doesn't deserve it.
*Spend time in nature.
*Go to the temple.
*Do Family History work.
*Tell mom you love her.
