Filch-It Friday: The Lottery

I'm finally ready to begin Simply Nutmeg's fabulous Filch It Friday. As many times as I've read a great blog post and thought "Gee, I wish I'd stolen thought of that", when the opportunity finally presented itself last week I choked!

But here goes...

The idea that has sparked me to filch today is The Compact: When I win the lottery .


Being the good mother that I am,

I would put enough money away to pay for Darling Daughter's college, and a safety net trust fund for her future. My husband and I were middle-aged when we had our one and only child and I worry about us dying while she is still a young woman. I want her protected and safe.




My husband, daughter and I live on the east coast, and the rest of my family lives on the west coast. I would buy a house back in my hometown. Then I would pay off the mortgages of my parents and sister. Nothing would make me happier.


I would take all of my family away on a vacation, somewhere warm and relaxing and fabulous...and where they are not shocked by a chubby woman on the beach in a bathing suit ...












I would be generous with my church. I love my church family, I love my church buildings - I would like to assist in helping it survive another 225 years.


I would make a generous contribution to the Manjushree Vidyapith Orphanage in Tibet. My church contributes to the support of this wonderful haven for children, and The Hubs and I support a child at the orphanage. A member of our church spends several months each year at the orphanage, teaching the blind children how to read braille.


I would love to create a safe place for rescued and abused animals.
A farm, a shelter, a combination of the two.

I guess that about sums it up. Man, I'm gonna need a LOT of money to do all this...
I guess I better start buying lottery tickets!
