Hmm, let's see - after years of courtship and marriage, where are we on this checklist personally?
1 Swim in a waterfall - done. Pretty darn cold. Kinda scary. Swimming behind it is far more fun!
2 sleep under the stars - we never were much for camping. No go here.
3 have a picnic with a red and white checkered blanket - tried it, pretty lumpy. ants. in pants. one and done.
4 paint a 3X3 metre painting - me stink at art. she does too
5 catch fireflies - we let butterflies land on us, is that close enough? she hates "bugs" tho so i had to brush them off.
6 watch a meteor shower from my roof - we watched fireworks, every year in fact, like this. always fun.
7 go camping - see #2.
8 skinny dipping! - one word: Algae. no thanks.
9 spend the afternoon on a river in a row boat - how about the lake in Central Park instead? pretty fun, should do it again.
10 read beneath the willow tree - plenty of willow time, have one at Delaware, one cool one at college way back when too. didn't do much readin' there. oh, i did read Ayn Rand once while she took a nap under one - and then proposed when she woke up. so yeah, this one probably takes the cake.
11 make art/ write to classical music - we enjoy listening to classical, but never did anything other than listen together while listening.
12 stay up all night - all the time back in the day.
13 grow a garden - since we got our own place, we've tended an "urban garden" plot. pain in the butt. she only wants to plant edible veggies - it looks like a green mess, or stripped bare.
14 plant a tree - done, twice. i should go visit that thing and see if the new owner of our old plot kept em up!
15 go to a sugar bush - nopes.
16 go hiking - well we kinda do this when walkin' around rainforests during vacations. hope that counts.
17 talk (to you) everyday - ayep.
18 walk around barefoot - or at least in socks only indoors. shoes are a no-no at home. at the beach, getting kinda toasty these days to do it on dry sand. on campus, did it sometimes.
19 write poems at 4 in the morning - me, yes. her, no. me to her? no.
20 share an ice cream soda - yep! more than we should.
10 hug - uh huh!
This was exactly my idea!!! Good on ya!
