How to Build a Summer Bucket List
Taking myself out for an alfresco dinner. Check!
I’ve got a coffee mug that says, “the days are long, but the years are short.” And as I’ve gotten older, the endless summer days feel like they are in warp speed. By the time I’ve made it to a beach day, I’m getting served ads for sweaters. That’s why I started creating seasonal bucket lists.
