Five by Five again

This time Invisible Emma got me. I don’t know her. But she has a kitty for an avatar photo. She grabbed my blog from Gabriel at Salted Lithium. I recognize his name from Thordora’s blog, but I don’t really know him either. How about that?

So here we go again.

Five Things Found In My Bag

My dulcimer bag this time:

1. CDs for sale
2. Music stand that fits between the dulcimer and the dulcimer stand
3. Wedding ceremony outline with music selections, from yesterday’s gig
4. Tuning wrench
5. Tube holding two pairs of dulcimer hammers

Five Things Found In My Room:

This time I’ll use the music / craft room.

1. Hammered dulcimer
2. Sewing machine
3. Twelve-year-old Ficus tree
4. Home-made shelves and desk — just boards and boxes
5. Amy’s First Year scrapbook album

Five Things You Have Always Wanted To Do:

1. Be who I really am without cost to myself or anyone else
2. Pet any kitty in sight
3. Ride a horse across a huge meadow, often
4. Fly (without apparatus) (also often)
5. Hear God’s voice and know it for what it is (would once be enough? One reason I’m glad I wasn’t around when Jesus first came is that I don’t think I would have been one of those people for whom one encounter was apparently enough. And can you imagine being one of those people he never even noticed?)

Five Things I Am Into Right Now:

1. Cleaning my oven. Last night’s baking soda and salt paste did an amazing job. Now I am trying Sandi’s scouring paste on the remaining spots, letting it sit while I’m online.
2. Thinking about mothers and daughters and spouses and friendships and wondering how it all works and why it doesn’t work and how to make it work better and how to deal with it not working better and things like that.
3. Getting a little more green as I’m able.
4. Trying not to be obnoxious about it.
5. Not accepting obligations I’m not really obliged to accept; like tagging people for memes.

Play if you like! Let me know if you do.
