My friend, Mary Hartmann, tagged me. I did not win her Christmas wallhanging she was giving away. Too bad for me. But I thought I would play along with her anyway. This has really made me think (in the past happenings and for the future.) But here goes.

Five things I was doing five years ago
1. We got our first little cocker spaniel puppy. She is now five years old.
2. I was doing the newsletters for our business, Spectrac Suspension Center.
3. I was working on genealogy.
4. I was faithfully exercising 3 times a week.
5. We purchased a home where our daughter, Julie lived so I was helping her a lot.

Five things on my to do list
1. Finish up Chistmas gift buying
2. Finish up machine embroidery blocks for the Latte Quilt and Heritage Quilt.
3. Put together a story of one of the Lipps children for my genealogy web site, http:www.downthehallway.com.
4. Visit my visiting teacher partner in the hospital next week.
5. Help Julie finish her purse she is making.

Five things I would do with a million dollars
1. Pay off the mortgages on both homes.
2. Buy a RV storage business for Jerry but he would have to first sell Spectrac.
3. Buy a home with lots of storage space.
4. Buy an expensive Gammill long arm quilting machine.
5. Travel to the places my ancestors lived - England, Germany and the states in USA they lived in.

Five places I have lived
1. I am a native Arizonian so have lived here most of my life, mainly Bisbee.
2. Lived in Garden Grove, California while I taught school there.
3. Lived in New Mexico as a child.
4. How boring, I need to travel more.

Five things I want to be doing in five years
1. Traveling
2. Machine quilting on that Gammill long arm.
3. Doing something with my husband instead of sitting at home all the time.
4. Seeing to it that Julie is settled in a happy, comfortable, safe home with nice people.
5. Taking care of myself so that I can be healthy to do all these things.

Five people I have tagged
1. I will think about that right now.
