We didn’t win the lottery today

 

     Gosh, darn it.  However, we didn’t play it today either.  G and I play two lottery games.  We each put in $3.00 and she buys the tickets when she’s at the grocery store.  She does the buying because she always goes shopping the same day every week like clockwork.  I don’t shop until I absolutely have to shop.

     The plan is to split our winnings the day we win.  (With our luck, everyone and his brother will hit the same day and we’ll make only enough to buy another ticket.)  What the heck, we keep playing.  We have dreams.

     We both dream about new houses.  Our plan is to hire a realtor to find us our dream homes within walking distance of each other.  Neither of us wants a huge, fancy house but we want comfortable homes.  It’s not that our homes aren’t comfortable, but we both have steep stairs to climb, and we aren’t getting any younger. 

     G dreams of being able to put her grand kids through college.  I dream of not having to worry about DH and him climbing stairs.  I don’t want to worry if we have enough money to pay for his medications and the bills each month.  I dream of taking care of my cousins and aunties.  G and I both dream of having our very first new cars.  We’ve always had used ones.  Compared to many people our dreams are simple. 

     If you hit the lottery for megabucks, what would you do?
