Things to do...

What's number one on your list of things to do before you die?

Have a family and develop the skills I have, but haven't gotten a chance to try.

Also I'd like to try glassblowing, scuba diving and try my hand at mining Opals at Lightning Ridge.

I've just half checked one off - I didn't actually shear the sheep myself, but I helped with shearing and crutching 40 sheep last weekend.

Crutching - shearing the belly and bits of a ewe to ease lambing and give the newborn lamb a better chance of finding the teat instead of a hunk of dirty wool

And now you know more than you ever wanted to know about shepherding.......

Vika, just so you know, you so floored bill with your answer that he couldn't even post his own...

Anyway, my list includes traveling around the world, sky-diving, and writing a novel.

actually go on a honeymoon with my husband. i should be able to cross that off my list of things to do. it's the rest of the list that gets a bit tricky...

First of all, I want to thank you, Vika, on behalf of all those who hate to be surprised by a woolly teat. I hate when that happens.

Next, I'd like to write a children's book that becomes a classic in my lifetime.

Or have lunch with Kate Decamillo.

But I'd say the odds are much better that I'll be babysitting while CJ goes on a honeymoon. And it will probably be more fun anyway. :)

You're welcome Bill :)

I'm saving the world one wool-less teat at a time.

Things to do before I die?

Write a novel (Yeah, I'm copying, but I've always wanted to).

See the Kentucky Derby in person (only sports my darling granddad ever watched).

Move my son out of my house.

And...oh yeah. This one's just been added to the list.

See the Big Chicken in Marietta, GA.

I actually have a spin-off of pnwgal's last one: I want to join the Big Chicken Chorus. (But I think they only allow men.)

PNWgal said...

They have a Big Chicken chorus??

That's it...I'm not getting any work done today-I'm laughing way too hard.
