Friday Freewrite
as prescribed by Brave Writer. Sam and I did it today. Nine minutes each.
Friday Freewrite: Gold rush
What would happen if you found gold in your backyard?
If I found gold in my yard, I’d get as much as I can grab and cash it, get some of it and save some for later, then go to the nearest target or another store with video game stuff and ether buy a Wii system or an Xbox360 and as many games that are compatible with until I run out of money and save some money for my parents. And give the rest to charity.

If I found gold in my yard. It may sound kinda weird, but I’d be worried about all the great moss on the ground. I mean I’d want to dig up some of the gold but I wouldn’t want to destroy all that great moss. Maybe I’d relocate most of it to a moss garden. I could use some of the money from the sale of the gold to build it.
I think I might save most of the money for my kids education. I worry about that. Some for retirement for Bob and I. Some I’d like to spend on me. I need new bras. There’s a place in town that apparently does fittings. I’ve wanted to be “fitted” for a long time but never knew where to do it. I even have a coupon to get bras at this place. (a friend gave it to me)
Sounds kinda boring, eh.
Bob and I could go traveling once the kids were grown of course. We could do that bike tour of
‘Course there’s also fixing up the house and doing everything we want do to do it. Then it would really feel like ‘ours.’ We haven’t even painted the walls yet. Jessie has been helping take down the wall paper in her room though. J
Or the garden. We could do everything we want to have an awesome garden. Totally landscape the area… hmmm. Now I’m back to the worry about the moss. Totally re-landscaping would totally remove it. Weird, eh? To be so concerned about something so small. Maybe it is a mom thing. But it makes me smile.
There’s also the charities I’d like to give to. But only after the family is taken care of. Maybe that is selfish. But if we’re not secure, I don’t feel right helping someone else feel that way. If we were taken care of I’d like to give to the humane society.
