We're hanging at home with Sarah and Sunil, Nellie Furtado, and she's talking about her bucket list. Have you heard this song before? No, I've never heard it. I have not, but I highly recommend a listen to this song because it's pretty deep.
I'll have to take a listen. Yes. I'm all about the bucket list, though. Really?
Yeah. So guess what we're talking about on today's episode of Bringing It Home. I cannot imagine. Okay, stick with me here.
We're going to enjoy the first day of fall on Wednesday, and you're going to enjoy your birthday on Saturday. I am. Yes. Yes, I am.
So it's not a birthday bucket list, but that's an idea for another topic. Birthday bucket list. Okay. You know I'm a fall gal, right?
I love fall. I love all things about the whole fall season. That's why you have the pumpkin sweatshirt on, and we still have two more days of summer. Yeah, I've been digging fall for weeks now, so we're going to play a little game, okay?
I've got a fall bucket list of items here, and I'm going to ask you your thoughts about them. Okay, I'm very uncomfortable right now. I don't know. I'm enjoying this.
Okay, all right. So guys, y'all hang with us, and maybe we'll get you in the fall spirit, too. So think about your fall bucket list as we go through this list, okay? Okay.
All right, so tell me, is this going to be on your fall bucket list or not, Tennille? How about drinking some apple cider? No, it's not on the list. Now, I've had hot apple cider, and it's delicious, but it's not something I do at home.
I would totally be down with it. I would make it. I mean, if you made it, I'd drink it. But you're not going to go seeking it.
No. I got you. No. Okay, how about picking pumpkins at a pumpkin patch?
I'm not going anywhere near a pumpkin patch. Usually, I don't even have a pumpkin in my house. Oh, you're breaking my heart. There are no pumpkins around my house.
There's all I'm going to go breaking in my heart. You're breaking it. Yeah, there are no pumpkins in my house. Okay, well, you already know.
If there were, I would have picked them up at the local supermarket, not at a pumpkin patch. Well, you already know that. My answer, girl. Every fall rate, we go to the pumpkin patch.
We get our wagon, and we get the pumpkin patch. I don't have a wagon. I like that girl who has the hay bales and the scarecrows and pumpkins in the yard. Okay, so this is not on your list.
All right, how about watching football? Oh, yeah. Oh, we got one she's going to do. Oh, I'm going to do plenty of that.
I've already been doing that, preseason games. Yeah, preseason games. At the beginning of the season, yes, my Tennessee Titans. I am going to keep up with that all the way.
Okay, well, I've been watching my falls, you know. Of course, yes. I think we're both games, and I love high school football. Oh, yeah, yeah, Friday night lights.
Yes. All right, how about driving around and looking at the fall foliage? No, not so much. Now, when I pass by it, I do admire the colors.
Okay. You know, the golds and reds and oranges. I think the colors are beautiful. You know, I've always thought it would be beautiful to take a train ride through the northeast as the leaves change and just see it.
I mean, I just think that would be beautiful. I'm with you. But I'm not going to drive around in my car and look for it around here. Okay.
Well, I won't call you next weekend when we go through that. Now, Christmas lights, call me. Okay. I'll go when it's time to go see those.
Totally Christmas bucket list. Yes. Okay. How about baking pumpkin bread?
No. Well, this may shock you, but I've already done that. Oh, no. No.
Yeah, it's baking pumpkin bread. How about decorating your home for fall? You know, I actually have some fall decor that usually doesn't even come out of the boxes. I know, I've not decorated for fall in over five years, and I've looked at my items this summer and thought, huh, I should decorate for fall.
So maybe this conversation will prompt you. I don't know, but the stuff is there. Okay. Yeah.
Okay. You can do this. Yeah. Shocking as this may be, ours is already out.
But see, in my life, fall doesn't even enter into my thought process until after my birthday. My birthday is in summer. Because summer is my time. In your mind, yes.
Yes, summer is my time. Okay. So my birthday is in summer. Okay.
Yes. So how about cuddle up in a blanket with a good book? Why not? Okay.
That's not against you. It doesn't have to be fall to do that. I know this is a no, but I have to ask, because this is like such a fall thing. Going on a hayride.
I wouldn't be against it. I would go on a hayride, Sarah. Okay. Yes.
I'm just not going to get off and pick the pumpkins. No pumpkin picking. No. Okay.
One of our favorite things to do in the fall is going on hikes, because of the cooler weather and the leaves. I know that's like a hard note. There are snakes. There are wild animals.
Yeah. It's outside. Hard note. No.
Okay. Another one of my family's fall bucket list items is to sit by a bonfire, roast marshmallows, and just enjoy being outside. I can sit outside, you know, at the fire. I don't want the marshmallows.
Okay. I'm going to hot dogs. I can do the hot dogs. S'mores, I don't get that whole thing.
Okay. I don't get the s'mores. I just don't. You're surprising me on some of this.
This is good. All right. Well, I'm going to end on this one. I'm not sticking to what you thought I was.
You're going to fall down, and I realize. All right. This is like the total to us, my family. Okay.
One of the big fall things. Carbon pumpkins. No. That stuff gets everywhere.
Not on your list. No. I told you there's not going to be a pumpkin at my house. True.
But if I drive up to your house, I'll look and say, oh, what a nicely carved pumpkin. I love it. I'm glad it's here and not at my house. We may have to like, what are they, like, ding-dong door ditch?
People like, you know the ding-dong come in you? No. I love it. Like, fall is a beautiful time.
You know, the weather starts, well, eventually starts to cool off in our area. But like I said, I'm a summer gal, but I make the transition into fall, and you know, some of the things on that bucket list, they're not necessarily on my bucket list, but they're things I wouldn't be opposed to. I like it. Yeah.
Well, we just want to encourage everybody as the season begins to transition to find some things you enjoy. Yeah. Look for the joy of the season. Look for things that make you happy, ways to spend time with people you care about.
You know, life is short, but it's sweet. And find some stuff that you enjoy doing, and kind of embrace this transition. Now, if you pumpkin latte folks, I truly don't get that obsession, so that wasn't on the bucket list, but no, I will not be buying pumpkin anything, so. Yeah, well, pumpkin bread is totally my jam, so.
I'm still making garlic bread. No pumpkin. But y'all, you know, find you a fall bucket list, and grab some friends, and go do some fun stuff. Thank you for joining us for this episode, and in the words of Bob Marlin, I wonder what he did at all.
Probably not much fall season. Well, I was going to say, not a whole lot of fall, but anyway, he would remind us to live the life we love. And love the life you live. Happy fall, y'all.
