Oh yeah...#41...win powerball so I can take all of those trips :)
When it's time to pursue #18, I DO have a guest room. Heck, I've got enough room for say, two big people and two little people. I'm just saying.
And as for #31 - olives right off the tree are nasty things. I bet you want to go to Tuscany and buy good olive oil right from the farm where it was made - and at least two weeks in Tuscany to find the BEST oil :^)
Love you all much - A. Noona
Good list - I did write a children's book before I was 40. I need an illustrater and a publisher now...
The tree photo is so enchanting.
It's talking to us. Maybe even winking it's eye. Hmmm...
The tree is across the street and I had never noticed until a few weeks ago that it looked like a face.
you can knock out 4,5,6 a little 34, 35, and 40 all in one fell swoop down this way. serious.
