One I'll be the wife of a . . . .

I married a dreamer, a visionary, a man with a gosh-darn LOT of ideas.

Sometimes he drives me crazy with his ever-changing goals, but sometimes he makes life so terribly exciting it's like throwing your hands up in the air on a roller coast just before it takes a big plunge.

So, to share with you a little piece of my husband and of my marriage, I give you just a smattering of all things Danny wants to do before we die.
  • have a chicken coop in the backyard & slaughter them for dinner
  • raise sheep
  • roast coffee beans
  • build a kayak
  • refurbish an OLD VW bug
  • open a laundromat with an attached internet cafe
  • remodel a house
  • build a fish hatchery in the garage & send our kids out to "catch" fish for dinner
  • start a pizza pub
  • make homemade yogurt
  • sew his own pair of pants
  • grow veggies in a community garden
  • make flip flops out of tires
  • make his own hammock
  • put an engine on his bike
  • start a dog-walking business (which he's actually doing HERE)
Are you tired yet? (And, can you believe that one day he expects me to be okay with raising fish, sheep, chickens in our yard while going to the COMMUNITY garden for our vegetables?)

I love this list Danny. You should check out www.backyardchickens.com for good coop designs. 3 hens will give you 2 eggs per day on average. Also I think making your own pants would be great, esp if they were out of buckskin. I can not reccommend the VW refurb, b.c the '69 Bronco project causes many stressful dinner conversations at our house. And I have not thought about sheep (ironic, i know) but I did research how much milk a Guernsey cow will give you -- they cost $800 and give you about 4 gallons per day, and we run through 6 gallons a week.

Keep on dreamin, goodbuddy. I know it drives Ash as crazy as Laura feels, but I love that about you. Nice chops. Hope you are well.

Welcome to my world. Looks like we are a few miles further down the road ..... he has completed probably half of what is in your list .... thongs (aussie flip flops) out of tyres though.

My, that is an original thought.
