Oh, baby!! You may not believe this, but I was thinking that last night. I was picturing myself inviting everyone close enough, to come on over. Now.......how close do you live to Danbury, Connecticut? Because if it ever happens, that is where I will be living. :lol:

Distance doesn't matter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
I can stop in NY and see my Mom on the way!!!!!!!!!
Just goes to show you how we think alike on this board!!! :D

The dream of my DH and I -
Build a retreat for ministers and their families who are suffering burn out.(Also for other church officials, elders deacons and such).
We would also like to have a home for unwed (cast out) mothers to be, and I want to incorporate quilting and sewing with all of it.
To teach young girls to sew and quilt and cook and other basic things of life. Plus parenting classes, continuing education for them, maybe have the minister's families helping with the girls.....
We are actually working on the process, but still much in our dreams as funding is ...... not in our hands at the moment.

First of all I would pay off my daughter's farm and buy my son a property. Then I would buy myself a house or condo on the river here where I live. I would take a trip to France and Hungary where my husband and my ancestors come from. Last and not least, I would take another trip to Fiji where I have always wanted to go to before I die.

i have thought of this and concluded, yes, my family would come first... kids would have trust funds for college and an allowance for life :D
I would like to buy up a few of the empty houses around here and set up rent free long term leases for some of the homeless and/or struggling families in the area. (basically giving the homes back to a few families that lost them when the banks foreclosed on them)

Build our own that is fully handicapped accessible, with a HUGE bathtub (1 we have now would probably fit 4 people, and im addicted to it :D)
As for me... I want my very own, fully stocked quilt shop (not open to the public) complete with machines ill ever need (basic, serger, embroidery, quilting, treadle etc)

and 1 quilting buddy, that never notices if i dont bother getting dressed out of my jammies or brush my hair (i will however promise to always brush my teeth. lol) and will always give an honest answer about what im making... ok, i cant buy her, but can i bribe her? lol

I would buy a quiltshop, and next to the quiltshop a quilt retreat home with a large swimmingpool behind. In that way I can take care of my family, take care of all my quiltfriends and have my own quiltshop! Wow that would be awesome!
