#26 yummmmm!

Who would have thought that growing your own veggies would be so easy! Granted, I had a TON of help from Sean, but really it's just about dirt, seeds, water, and sun...and in a months time you have something yummy, healthy, and grown with your own two hands.

These photos are of the first little guy to ripen. So perfectly red and round, topped with the sweetest little green star shaped stem. I was actually pretty sad when it came time to eat it, and truthfully told, I probably wouldn't have were it not stipulated in The List.

Now, we have a big happy tomato family growing! We use them in salads..pastas, just about everything :-)

Big high five to my wonderful husband and his handy green thumb. Without his help, none of this tomatoey goodness would be possible.

#15 Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.

For so many years I've been meaning to rent and
watch The Godfather movies. However, as always tends to be the case, life got in the way. Work...school, it never seems to end. 3 hours just felt like an extrodinarily long time to sit and watch a movie, regardless of the awesomeness of said film.

Since The List was written, I knew I would eventually have to bite the bullet and take the time to watch it. Finally, with the help of netflix and frequent bathroom breaks, I made it through the movie. I have to say, those were 3 of the most worthwhile hours ever spent in front of a tv. Everything about this film was perfection and I am so very glad I decided to put it on my list. Francis Ford Coppola, you are my hero.
