Rent (or mortgage) paid for the rest of my life, so I could commit myself to fiction writing full time.
I would like a 1,000,000 grant toward developing a dream project of mine.
Either the complete set of T206 the 1951 Bowmans or an Aston Martin DB5.
A self-contained and self-supporting estate, along the lines of the original vision forBiltmore. The main house should be no more than 6,000 square feet, though. With at least ten bedrooms each with a small ensuite. No more arguments about where we’ll be having Christmas! LoL!
I flew my 200th hour in a T-34B - it was by far the coolest airplane I’d ever piloted. Back in those days, I wanted a Cardinal RG. I’d never flown one, but I saw one in a magazine and the coveting began! Sadly, stuff happened in life and I haven’t flown a little plane since late 1978. Sometimes I miss it, but not enough to take out a second mortgage and get current. Could I even do that 36 years later??
Come to think of it, even if someone would pay for me to do it, I don’t know if I’d want to fly again. Is that sad?
I’d settle for one T206.
A baby grand piano with prepaid lifetime maintenance/repair/tunings. And prepaid moves, so it can follow me wherever I live.
Two years of personal guitar lessons from Eric Knopfler.
Yeah, insomnia can be a bitch.
Same for me, please. I’m fine with living modestly, I’d just love to stop the constant money worry.
A three month European vacation, focusing on the north, excluding Russia.
A vacation. The kind of vacation where you get on a plane and go somewhere, maybe even needing a passport, and you stay in nice hotels, eat good food, see sights, go to museums, and go shopping. All by myself. And someone to look after my husband and the cats while I’m gone. His disability doesn’t require full time care, but it’s hard for him to cook, drive, shop, take himself to doctor appointments or take the cats to the vet, so a three or four hour a day helper would work.
Full-Boat scholarships for both my kids to 4 years of college at good universities.
I’ve had my run. Its their turn.
