Same with our children growing up. Since we homeschooled we used a lot of our vacationing as also learning about history. Some of the best ways to do it❤
That is the way it sticks in my head better is by seeing and experiencing it!
@@PenniestoDollars for sure
Hi Bonita,
The fundamental “bucket” list.
Having goals and objectives is an essential way for us to live life full of joy.
🌷Sam
Well said💙💙💙
I was just going to say I love that you take us places. It helps me to see things that I probably will not see in my lifetime.
That is my hope, as I have several viewers that are not able to travel. I hope you’re enjoying them as much as I am showing them to you!
@@PenniestoDollars I sure am !
I love that mission that you found. Those places are so cool
I hope you enjoyed them since it’s hard for you to travel!
@@PenniestoDollars I definitely did! Thank you so much for showing us all of that. I told my husband a long time ago I said you know I've always had a dream to go to Prince Edward Island Canada where they filmed the Anne of Green Gables movies and the road to Avonlea television series. It wasn't all on Prince Edward Island I don't believe some of it was in a place called Cavendish I think not quite sure about the names I might be wrong about some of them, LOL but I realized that in reality that's not a place I'll probably ever end up going but that's okay I'm able to pop in my DVDs and watch those movies anytime I want and watch that series anytime I want and it's like I'm transported right there and I get to enjoy it. So I don't feel sorry for myself I know I'm right where I need to be in my life. And I'm so happy. And I'm happy to have you as a friend who is so willing to show me things through your videos it's so much fun. Thank you
@@nancysaffield5337 Of course! Thank you for being here!
@@PenniestoDollars ❤
That's nice that you visited the nature center and botanical garden when it wasn't crowded
Saturday morning, too!
@@PenniestoDollars oh wow
Great video!
Thank you, Debbie❤️
My husband and I always enjoy historical places to visit. He is an American History buff 😊
My husbandstarted out with a major in American History and he enjoys that as well ❤️
@@PenniestoDollars oh nice. My husband just enjoys it as a lay person. Nothing professional 😊
Wow, that was an interesting ferry adventure even though you didn't actually go on it, LOL I hope your toe heals up really quickly
❤️❤️
When my brother was in the service I visited him quite a bit by myself, so no I don't have a problem with doing it at all ❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've been dehydrated my food lately and it's actually pretty easy to do
Are you using an oven?
@@PenniestoDollars yes I am, so far I've done cilantro, tomatoes and jalapenos
How great!!
Yes i will yravel alone to visit my newly born grandsin in June
How exciting!!
Please get a Blue Ball Canning Book , it will take you step by step learning to can Absolutely a must for a first time canner !
Someone else recommended that too! I will check it out! Thank you!
My bucket list: see a moose in the wild and the Aurora Borealis. Visit Verona Italy, tour the surrounding valpolicella wine region, see the opera at the Roman Colosseum, then tour next wine region (Prosecco), Venice and visit Mariano Glass factory. I would like to go to North/west of Ireland to see Donegal castle and surrounding area. I like travelling and have seen so much it is mind boggling. For example, the oldest cemetery I have been to is at the old Kirk (church) in Alloway, Ayrshire, Scotland, whom Robert Burn’s poem “Tam o’Shanter” was based around. I’ve also been in Burn’s cottage and have crossed the Doon Brig (The bridge that is also in the poem). Also on my bucket list is to publish my poems.
I very much like your bucket list!!
Very cool list!
Girl- you "aren't in Kansas anymore".I Love you traveling and having adventures! I just wish you approached them with more caution/preparedness on some your sightseeing adventures.
I’m prepared 💪
My bucket list is small age 56 to hopefully down size our home buy couch and put curtains on our windows visit my granchildten i love visiting history
All great bucket list goals!
I enjoy the ferry. It was great. Los ebanos. It was easier to find the ferry a few years ago. Much better now, actually. Used to eat at the town 7 miles down the road. It was so open for years.
Street tacos in progresso ;)
❤️
I have often traveled to visit my now retired husband when he was working on the road. Because of his job and, of course, travel we've done otherwise, I have seen most of the U.S., and we find everywhere we go amazing things to do and see, some that are researchable online and some that aren't, like the covered bridge we came across recently in a very secluded area near a national park. One thing I'm realizing now is that your bucket list can radically change. At lease, it has for me since I retired. Now, I'm thinking about taking a master gardener's class, something I had absolutely no time to do when I was working. My bucket list includes "making time" to do fun things like driving to a friend's home to view the recent eclipse in full totality. Talk about cool! Regarding old cemeteries, have you seen the Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, Georgia? My husband and I made time to visit there because he was working in the area. Like you, finding what's fun or interesting wherever you go is a goal for me.
I have not seen that cemetery. Should it be on my bucket list? My husband and I visited the old cemeteries at Galveston Texas, which were very interesting dating back from yellow fever and an early 1900’s hurricane.
@@PenniestoDollars I think you'd find it fascinating. The Bonaventure Cemetery figures significantly in John Berendt's book, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, along with another cemetery in the area. I often seek out sites mentioned in both fiction and non-fiction. That's one way I arrange my travel, in fact. We've been to the old cemeteries in Galveston, too, and in many other locations. You might like to check out the connection between 19th century secular cemeteries in Britain, as opposed to church graveyards, and their connections to the development of the national park system in the U.S.
@ireadnewton we also visited one in Alamogordo, New Mexico, that dated back to stones that just had the engraving hand carved! My husband‘s grandfather is there.
Those trails look nice and clean atleast your very brave facing all those amphibians and reptiles lol I would love to learn about canning myself as well
I am not brave when it comes to snakes. I decided to turn back. lol
@PenniestoDollars I do not blame you maybe this idea would be better on a bike
I would have to say that I really never have had a bucket list. I think spending all the decades that I have my husband and I have really raising our four kids two of them with significant special needs that's just something that we really have not entertained. We haven't actually been on a vacation in six years. And it's because of that very situation. So with that we love our life and enjoy it we've had to make our home our get away as well. And do more staycations than we actually do traveling away. In fact this summer was supposed to be our first going away. And because of our youngest sons current situation we're not going to be able to do that this summer either. We have been greatly blessed. One of which is to have such a good friend as you Bonita❤😊
I consider you a good friend as well, Nancy. Are there other things That you would like to do or learn to do from where you are?
@@PenniestoDollars that's a good question. I know that the park that's very close to my home that I really love going to I may be would like to get a little more involved there as I'm physically able. They have a working farm with 4-H, you can become a friend of the park and help with the little projects. Even things as simple as taking care of particular birdhouses for a certain species you can take care of those and then report to the Rangers when they need to be repaired or maybe the sightings that you see their. I think I just like to do more of that type of stuff. And just maybe get to know some more parks in my County even a little bit better. We have two of them that are on the water that we love as well. So just doing more of that type of thing I think I would really enjoy
@@nancysaffield5337 That sounds fun!
Whenever I’ve traveled- it’s always been alone. Australia and South Africa. Don’t worry you’re not weird!
That's amazing! Thank you!
I travel with my 27 year old twin daughters
Making great memories ❤️❤️
Very enjoyable video!
I like to can. For years I just did waterbath canning, but last year I bought a pressure canner and started doing things you can’t waterbath can. I have done chicken and beef when I can grab it on sale for shelf stable pantry. I took my time and just went slow. Get a Ball canning book or go to the US site for preserving to read up.
Thanks for the info! I’m excited to try!
I feel like in past years I've seen canners at places like Goodwill and thrift stores like that. Especially if you're not wanting to invest big money in it in case it's something you don't want to continue doing. Could be a place to look never know
I have been checking, and I just have not came across any yet, so hopefully I will!
@@PenniestoDollars yeah I hope you do too. That is a specific thing for sure
I'm guessing that with all of the wrought iron fencing and Gates and wrought iron on the windows and doors that there must be a real safety concern in that area. I know sometimes people will use wrought iron decoratively but it seems like this maybe is more of a safety issue. Did you get that feeling when you were in that area that there was like a safety concern?
There isn’t a safety concern where I am but the ferry town looked sketchy. It’s all very safe here. It just seems to be a fashion trend to have the wrought iron gates, and the window bars. I had never seen bars on porches before with a gate though.
@@PenniestoDollars oh I gotcha
I get so excited to travel alone!! I have never done it but I think I would love it since I love being alone in general. In general u love taking my time getting some where, packing my own food and relaxing at my own pace.
And zero schedule to keep up with ❤️
😩 watch out for the cartels! That’s a dangerous area.
I’m not crossing there. I’ve heard that there.
You can do a lot of canning if it’s high acid like tomatoes, jelly, and stuff in a hot water bath, and I’ve seen various hot water baths at my thrift store here in town the local sabers so you don’t need a pressure canner unless you’re gonna do like green beans or things that don’t have acid or or Karen
Thank you! I need to start my research on that stuff. I really know nothing.
I grew up right on the Rio Grande in El Paso. I miss going to the river bank and even hopping on muddy spots during dry times to the other side. Now, you can't do it anymore, obviously. Really sad.
Yes, I’ve heard that area is not safe. How sad.
Good video
Thanks!
That Betanical garden would freak me out. Open to the public huge bushes for stranger danger to pop out at any moment. And there alone ? 😳
No one was here but me. I don’t tend to get scared of things like that.
I'd have to say I am not much of a solo traveler. I never have been. My husband's also the same way. We've always just traveled together. I did a lot more traveling as a child after I lost my dad because my mother wanted to travel a lot so I would just go when she went. So when I was young I went to Hawaii, Canada many times in the Toronto area. Washington State, I've been to the Texas area once. Florida many times. And then I went on one cruise with my mother to Bahamas, St thomas, and the Virgin Islands but I was literally a young preteen and young teenager. I suffer with pretty significant anxiety so that makes solo traveling hard on me. I have had to travel out of state four times as I've been with my son and daughter-in-law at the birth of each of their children. And though I was glad to go it was really difficult for me.
I would prefer to travel with my husband, of course, but if he is not ready to retire yet, and then I’m still going to go when I can ❤️
@@PenniestoDollars good for you!!❤
I’m interested in purchasing your book how do I go about it please and thank you
I have the links to both Depression Era cookbooks in the description box of the video.
Agree. Making a bucket list, setting goals and having an objective keeps and helps us look forward to things in life that bring us joy! 🤩
