tap dance. I have been watching some old Fred Astair and Ginger Rodgers movies, and want to dance! I think tomorrow I am going to look at tap shoes when I am in town.

What do you want to learn to do?

For tomorrow and its needs I do not pray, but keep me, guide me, love me, Lord just for today.

That would be nice too, and draw something other than stick people.

Both sounds like so much fun! I would love to learn how to do Irish Stepdancing and painting would be nice too! My mom is a great painter and I think that gene skipped me!

I would love to learn to use my loom in the living room. I have had it way too long to not be able to weave on it. This winter I need to make it a goal to find someone to show me how to get it warped and get going on it.

Maybe the Irish stepping will follow tapping
And weaving is something I would like to learn as well. I had an opportunity to buy a loom once for a really good price, but had no where to put it. Still wish...

Hey Aunt Jenny . .
If we lived closer together I could be your piano teacher!!!! I've been playing the piano longer than anything else except breathing, having started before I started school. And I've been teaching since I was 16.
I am SO-O-O-O grateful that my mom made sure I had a teacher, a piano and EVERY opportunity . . . and she was my greatest fan!
Go for it, Farmgirl-Friend!

I am a music major, piano teacher; if I'd live closer, I'd give you those piano lessons for free. I hope you learn to play soon.

I have always wanted to learn how to make a quilt. However, I cannot sew too good, and I seem to have ten thumbs even when I try to sew buttons on. In fact, I only sew buttons on in June. LOL

I really, really want to learn to make water tight baskets. I also want to learn how to weave blankets.

Well, I went and bought tap shoes today and last night I ordered a dvd so that I can learn. I am going to make my sis learn with me. I figure it will be good exercise, at least all the laughing we will be doing.

Dawn in IL- I love what you posted. I hope you hubby is agreeable, my hubby never wanted to learn to dance.

Oo I love stained glass. I hope you give it a try!

I think ballroom dancing would be fun. Shall we watch for you on Dancing with the Stars?

I would love to speak spanish fluently. I live in a small town with a growing spanish population due to the factories here. Home to Ashley Furniture Industries and Gold-N-Plump chickens.

Melanie, I wish were neighbors. I'd love to help you to learn to knit!

I've been thinking about this--what I want to learn to do, and though sewing is up there, there really isn't much else. Is that silly? I feel content right now!
