Play along with me, won’t you?

Mine would be the same answer – a plane ticket for me to see my mom or one for my mom to come see me.

I would ask for our house to sell at a price that wouldn’t require us to raid our retirement savings.
I would give every animal at the animal shelter near our house a good home. I can’t stand driving by there day after day, knowing there are so many animals that don’t have someone warm to curl up next to.

1) If there were no limits to what I could ask for I would ask for the chance to hug my dad one more time and have the chance to feel his hand holding my head to his heart and hear him telling me he loved me.
If we are strictly talking gifts that can be purchased with cash…I would like a home of our own, big enough to grow my family as large as we wish. Closer to my family.
2) If I could give any gift I would give my mom nothing but joy for the rest of her life.

Well, Erika, your readers are much deeper than I am…
1. I would probably ask for a camera, editing equipment, photography classes, and a couple (dozen) cool trips in which I could focus on photography. Also, a cleaning lady. and, and, and… ok I should stop.
2. I would find a perfect and well-paying job for our dear friend and neighbor, who will be laid off as of Jan 1.

If money was no object I would love a new 2.8 lens for my camera
If I could give anything I wanted I would give my hubs the motorcycle that he spends hours looking at online.
