| I would still want to farm, digging my hands into the soil. Canning, freezing and more sewing. I would spend more time with hubby fishing. I would like to take the kids traveling. I would go see my father again. I would buy a great pair of cowgirl boots. I would eat sherbert on my porch in the evening in the summer time. (maybe I will do that now) |

I have to say,,,we don't have ANY money and we are still pursuing all of your dreams..the beach, more kids, simple living, traveling and eating in all kind of restaraunts and making new friends. I would buy hubby is Harley and my convertible and I would still work in my current education persute. I like my (future) job.

First I would buy a farm, and land for my kiddos when they marry.. then I would help single moms get businesses started so they could stay home (providing they want to- I know there are many out there who don't) with their children.. My heart goes out to sahm's who have always been home and their husbands have left them like a piece of trash on the street. It is sad.. Their children have always known mama to be at home- maybe they were even homeschooled and now they are in public school and mama is working..
Blessings, Debra

We would do full time ministry/mission work/counseling, fix up our house and farm, and travel...we LOVE to travel and gas is just too high any more.

Build a super-huge animal shelter (no-kill) for cats and dogs. A/C in all rooms, homecooked meals three times a day, fresh water three times a day, and only animal lovers working there.

Hmm.... this is a good question. At first I thought -- "I would buy my dream farm" --- but then I got to REALLY thinking about it, and I would rather share the money with those less fortunate. I would also donate to the local animal shelters (since I can't take ALL the poor animals needing homes!). I would also pay for a program to spay and neuter animals for people who couldn't afford to get the surgery for their pet. After all, EVERYONE deserves to have a fur friend to love them!!
I would also buy each of my siblings a home of their own so they never had to worry about paying rent, and they would STOP moving all the time! A place each of them could call their own and put down some roots. And of course, there's my childrens future education. Sigh... so many things to do if I had the money to do it with! But, I STILL do contribute WHAT I can, WHERE I can and WHEN I can. For now, it's all I can do!!

I'd buy my dream farm, and also use the money to help the people of Haiti become self sufficient by teaching them to grow food and raise animals for food.

If I didn't have to worry about the money thing, it would mean that I have the five bedroom home with about 60 acres. Jeremy has his horse and cattle ranch started. I have my room for gardens and flowers. And the kids have more than enough room to run and play.
All that taken care of... I think I would keep my cleaning business but would hire people that need a good job. They would make good money and have health benefits. Then me and kids will give Marly a call and go volunteer at her super-mega animal shelter for a summer vacation.
I would devote my life to helping those around me, enjoying my kiddos and learning how to fly by the seat of my pants.

I'd probably have my horses? Maybe? I'm thinking so. I'm in a wierd transition phase in my life and trying to figure out what I would really want to do with my life, actually. I just want a small farm with some goats, chickens, a garden, and a pretty little house.. with my horses... I think that's it ... with some children, of course...
