Wish list Wednesday...

   Well, it is Wednesday again. Time to send another group of wishes out into the universe to see what happens.

A practical wish....

  Weather alert radios. As we don't have Television coverage here, we don't see the weather warnings. So this would be great to have.

I would like to have 2...

One portable....




   This one has a solar cell and a hand crank for power.














One a desk model with an alarm feature...

   This one has S.A.M.E. feature that allows you to program for your local area so you don't hear those that don't concern you.










What would I like to learn.

How about how to make your own soaps.  My sister does this and her soaps are wonderful. The don't dry out your skin and smell divine.

  Why not learn a little at a time to be self reliant. If our great grandparent's were cut off from town for a while, it was no problem. They had all they needed at home. But now a days if you couldn't get to the store for a week or so most of us would be up the proverbial creek.









Oh I would like to add a luxury item to the wish list....
 


A real feather bed. I slept on one when I visited Austria and German. There is nothing as warm and comfortable as being cradled by a soft feather bed when you sleep.









Now who do I wish to have lunch with this week....

Paula Deen

    She reminds me so much of my own mother, and I really miss her. Plus Paula Deen has overcome a lot of obstacles in her life. I think she would be inspiring to talk to, add fun to cook with.

Wish list Wednesday...

   Since last weeks wish list was postponed due to the electric going out and frying the modem, it got me thinking about emergencies, power falures and *SHUDDER* hurricanes.

   So my practical wish this week is....




   Aladdin Mantle lamps... they put off a lot more light than candles and other wick type lamps... or so a lot of bloggers out there have told me.  With the lights going off during storms.... or when the power company trims the trees and knocks it out by accident....these would we great to have around.







   You should see the collection they have.  If you think they are too expensive for emergencies only, plan a lights out family night.  Light the lamps, pull out the boardgames, and reconnect with those strangers  who live under your roof.

  Of course I already have candles, flashlights and wick lanterns...but would you just look how these look. Who wouldn't want one.











    Of course my all time wish for this situation would be....



   Lights go out a minute later... let there be light.  It should even keep the modem up. Oh and the freezer going, that is always a good thing. 

And lets not forget the coffee maker...




I guess I need one of these until then.








    What would I wish to learn....

    How to knit. My Aunt Darla taught me when I was little but I forgot.  I really would like to learn again and get good at it. 



The types of yarn out there are so great. The colors are pretty and the varieties.  Wool...what kind? Alpaca, cashmere, merino, washable wool, blended.

   Of course, I can crochet and I love it. But the patterns you can create with knitted stitches are so great. I would love to be able to make my own funky socks and sweaters.







   Who do I wish I could have lunch with this week, hmmm....

     How about Ron Howard... yep, Opie, Richie Cunningham...him.

   And of course, my last wish is that the DSL is never down and my muses are always up.

Wish list Wednesday...

   I heard awhile back that if you want something, don't keep it to yourself. You will never get it that way. You should let the universe know what you wish for, and you will be amazed at the results.

  So with that in mind I decided to start wish list Wednesdays. What is on my wish list... lots of things. Practical things, fanciful things, things I would like to do, see or feel.  People I would like to meet. The universe is a place with unlimited space, so why should we limit our wishes.

  So here goes nothing...

   Practical wishes:



  I have a foodsaver that I got second hand. I would like to get these jar sealers to go with it.

I would need one of these as well

 

 




  







  What I wish to learn...

   I would like to be able to grow an organic garden that would supply Jack and I with enough food for the year.  Every year my garden gets a little bigger, so one day...

Yeah, that should a do it. Can you throw in the view as well?

    I guess if I have that garden I need to learn to can. So I probably need one of these too...

 













Someone I would wish to have lunch with...

Barbara Bush

                          Just think of the stories she would have to tell.



   One last wish for this week...

   I would love to be able to make a living from writing. I would then not have to worry about money or others for my living. I started blogging to work toward this one, so we will see.



   What is your wish? Why not let the universe know.

Doesn't that look like a quill pen writing.

Happy New Year ...

   I would like to take a moment out and wish everyone a Happy New Year.

My New Years wishes for you...

May all your muses not run out of inspiration.
May you always know the best words to say.
May your computer never crash.
May spell check correct every word and your punctuation.
May your cameras take the pictures as you see them in your mind.
May always be ahead of schedule.
May you have food and shelter through out the year.
May all those you hold near and dear remain that way.
May all conflicts, be deflected before they start.

In other words...

May your new year bring you all the success and love you can imagine and more...

Now let the Time Square ball drop and the fireworks begin...
