If I won, I'd... #mfrwauthor

We're at week 30. Woooh hooo! Winning the lottery is not unbelievable in the abstract, even though I know it is far-fetched and will never happen. Lightning doesn't usually strike twice. And the first strike has already hit. Shortly after we moved into our house, neighbors two streets over won a multi-million dollar lottery payout.

Now if lightning did strike my house? How much largess is handed out depends on the size of the winnings. In reality, a million dollars doesn't go far these days. So for the purpose of this post, I'll assume the pot is more millions than I can spend in a lifetime--or two.

If I won the lottery I'd:

• take my mother to Disney World and to the balloon festival in Albuquerque, New Mexico
• create trusts to ensure the next generation can get a higher education
• if health allowed, take husband on an inn-to-inn bicycling trip
• take an extended vacation of Ireland, Scotland and Wales with a side trip of a river cruise through Germany
• island hop through Hawaii
• since money won't be an issue, I'd splurge for a photo session with the wolves at Lakota Wolf Preserve

Now for my writing, I'd buy all the hops, advertisements, and giveaways that I can't afford now. I'd need a lot of postage for when I start sending registration forms for a writers' conference in each state, and bonus ones in Canada and on a cruise.

For additional inspiration for the historical western I've yet to write, I'd go to the Calgary Stampede and take a horseback glamping (glamorous camping) trip.

There's quite a few more things I'd do, but I need to keep some dreams to myself. ~till next time Helen

PS - It's a hop. I'd love for you to visit the other posts.
