I plan retreats where I am the featured teacher. I build the ideal quilt shop from the ground up. I plan vacations and quilts and quilting vacations.

We buy lottery tickets once in a blue moon, when the jackpot gets high, and my husband and I would have this fantasy discussion, "What will we do if we win?" We'd talk about the house, the land, the traveling... But after awhile, I realized The Dream House in our minds was really just a bright, happy kitchen where we would be cooking and laughing and drinking wine side-by-side, and the traveling fantasy was also more about spending time together than about first class airfare or 5-star hotels. We didn't need to win the lottery, after all -- we just needed to schedule in more "date time" instead of letting work and parenting and kiddie catastrophes and stress suck all the life out of us!<br /><br />And speaking of stress, about your car -- I'm sure you'll pick the right one. They are probably both good cars that would serve you well, with as much research as you have put into them. A car is for awhile, not forever. Have fun with it!Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-43814136830797985722012-09-28T16:40:49.367-05:002012-09-28T16:40:49.367-05:00I look forward to hearing which car you decide on ...I look forward to hearing which car you decide on ~ hmmmm....Lane? when does Sydney get her learners permit ;-0 *winkLorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08638891375718025854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-8543854114934040632012-09-28T12:22:38.454-05:002012-09-28T12:22:38.454-05:00I, too, believe in fantasy.

Life is good here, but life is PERFECT in my imaginary life.

The white is needing repainted too. Chicken coops attract rats and fox. Ummm...maybe I shouldn't comment when I am THIS tired? <br />I got to go the Goodwill Outlet today and a sweet man helped me find bits of vintage nice quilt fabrics because I was SOOO stinkin' excited to find them. He reminded me of what I think you are like SOOOO MUCH. We ended up talking 'til his Signicant One came over to see what was taking so long. Thanks for telling me about that place...ALWAYS fun!<br /><br />Lucy~qltmom9https://www.blogger.com/profile/00891119764581754368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-14113412848579063072012-09-27T21:47:01.969-05:002012-09-27T21:47:01.969-05:00Brating beat me to it, I was going to say "my...Brating beat me to it, I was going to say "my side of the mountain", a great book that didn't sugar coat the difficulties of going off and doing it all alone.

But where ever you go, life follows, and the problems may be different, but they are still there. And teenagers still find all sorts of trouble, even if they do have "drive your tractor to school day." And those (*&* chickens start crowing at 5am every day. Moral of the story...grow where you are planted. And happiness is being surrounded by the people who love you.quiltermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06966454944918830540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-50418072789610485692012-09-27T13:21:50.117-05:002012-09-27T13:21:50.117-05:00It could also have been "Snow Falling on Ceda...It could also have been "Snow Falling on Cedars." <br /><br />I like your farm idea.
