"Eight Things" Meme from Yarntangler

Thank you to Yarntangler for making my blog today so easy, at least the typing part of it. The thinking took a bit longer.

EIGHT THINGS I LOOK FORWARD TO
1. Seeing friends and family soon, I hope.
2. My adult daughters deciding I'm not really a horrible witch
3. Becoming a more active volunteer coordinator at A Third Place Community Center in Turley, Oklahoma
4. Paying off bills - someday
5. Enjoying my first summer in Oklahoma
6. Continuing in the drumming circle
7. Getting back into ministry
8. Taking more trips in the RV


EIGHT THINGS I WISH I COULD DO
1. Play the piano by ear instead of having to use sheet music all the time.
2. Play the dulcimer better
3. Design webpages
4. Lose weight
5. Wave a magic wand or plant a money tree to get money on demand
6. See Birdman more often (all the time?)
7. See my son and mother more often

8. My new storm/screen door so I can keep the front door open without creatures flying, crawling, and slithering inside the house.

Birdman, right.
All the time? I wish.
Romance cookin? Oh, for about 40-some years, give or take 30. Only problem, he's in San Diego.

Interesting species? Haven't you ever seen that kind of bird before?
