There are so many items on your list that would be on mine. Next time we see each other, we’ll have to chit chat in Russian. :) Okay, I have forgotten a lot of mine and refreshing it should be on my bucket list.
What a wonderful list and I’m gonna have to pull from it when I do one day write my own.

There are some really great items on your list. I chose the same prompt and found it to be difficult, actually only thinking of 99 items that mattered. #11 is a great one. I would also love to be able to provide piano lessons for all of my kids (and buy a good piano!). #19 is a goal for me also.
Jennifer says
I almost put no. 55 on my list, but then I realized I’m really not smart enough to invent anything. LOL
I am loving all of these lists, and yes, it was really hard to do.

Amy says
WOW – kudos to you for coming up with 100! I did the same prompt and I just drew a blank on 100 things. So I’m doing it in parts. Great list!!! I’m a new follower stopping by from Mama Kat’s workshop.
