Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
We have a 'pet peeve of the day' thread and someone just started a 'happiest moment today' thread too - a welcome positive addition IMO.
I've completed two long standing bucket list items in the past few weeks, why not a thread on that too as a companion to the happiest moment thread? Share your most exciting experiences to inspire others! For example:
I've wanted to see glassblowing in person up close for decades, and finally made it happen a few weeks ago. DW and I signed up for a Make-Your-Own class (even better than watching someone else?) - I made my new favorite rocks/Old Fashioned glass, and DW made a scallop bowl (pic below is a likeness). As excited as we were going in, it far exceeded our expectations - we were blown away. So much so that we've been back several times for demos and bought several pieces they've made. https://www.hotglassalley.com/
I've wanted to see falcons in person up close for decades, finally made it happen last week. DW and I spent two hours with a Falconry Experience where we saw a Peregrine Falcon and a Barn Owl so close we could touch them and then we handled and flew two Harris' Hawks (5 times for her and I, 10 total), closely supervised of course. The sensation as they approach for their 'reward' is hard to explain, it's intense. As excited as we were going in, it far exceeded our expectations - we were blown away. We will go back for the experience periodically, there's nothing quite like it - incredible creatures. https://curtiswrightoutfitters.com/falconry/
If you're at all interested, I'd encourage you to find out where you can do the same and do it - we'd highly recommend it.
It was years ago, but same goes for a hot air balloon ride. We did that in Napa and we were blown away by that experience too.
Sorry for the sideways pics.
