A New Wish

Wishing I had paid more attention!

1)  To my mother when she deboned a fryer.  Did you have to look that up to know what I'm talking about?  Ha.  To save you the trouble, it's a whole chicken.
2)  When my mom was sewing.  She was a semi-professional seamstress; used to sew for people all the time.  Wishing I had paid attention, esp. when she was following a pattern.
3)  English class.
4)  History class.
5)  Algebra.
6)  To my grandparents.  Wishing I had listened more to their stories, watched them as they worked in their shop; they used to make leather goods - saddles, purses, wood items - and were so talented! 
7)  To my dad when he was gardening.  He majored in horticulture and definitely had a green thumb.  For several summers when I was younger, we had a plethora of corn, green beans, tomatoes, watermelon, squash and other yummy wonders from Mother Nature.

Well, the beauty of these things listed above is that my mind is still intact and if I focus, I can still learn a few new things!
