    A Featherweight is not on my list. I like all my bells and whistles. An embroidery machine is though. I wish I had spent the extra money when I bought my last machine. But then I would never have wanted to go to work.

    I am taking guitar lessons at age 74/almost 75 and I'm not the oldest student. Goal: be able to play some of the old hymns and some of the old love songs well enough to have a crowd sing with me. froggyintexas

    My bucket list? Oh, my. I have crossed off a few all ready, like learning to play piano (poorly, but I can plunk out a few songs), and seeing Ireland (twice!!). What's left:

    seeing the aurora borealis and taking at least one awesome photo
    living in a home I designed myself
    pedaling a bike all the way across the country
    learning to speak Irish (don't ask, totally useless, I know)
    doing something, anything, that makes my dad tell me he's proud of me
    moving somewhere I can grow lilacs, peonies, and trillium... but I'll settle for far enough north for camellias!
    being a grandma
    making a few really beautiful quilts... I'm working on that one.

    As you can all see, I don't want much... and I'd better hurry, I'm 52!!

    Wish you were closer.On my list for a long time is to learn to play the harmonica.I ordered the lessons from jp allen and have started to learn.I was 65 on May 14th and the dvd's were my birthday present to myself.
    I hope to find some one local that plays the guitar to play with.
