The Seven Things Meme

I was tagged for a fun meme by my bloggy friend Kim over at Endless Possibilities. I found her blog almost a year ago and have enjoyed getting to know her. Stop in to her blog and check her out--she also has a great sister site that makes me drool. You can see it here.

Here I go . . . .

7 Things I Want To Do Before I Die...

2. Make sure my husband knows really and truly how much I love him.

3. Have a little house on a few acres with some donkeys, sheep and a garden.

4. Learn how to sew so I can make little quilts, aprons and window treatments out of vintage fabric remnants.

5. Write a children's book (or a few) about the adventures of Rascal, Gino, Trigger or Henry.

6. Be chosen as a Jeopardy contestant.

7. Learn how to play guitar well and play and sing with James Taylor
