if you won a fortune

I've already planned this out in my mind in detail many times...But I need to start buying lottery tickets.

First I'd totally remodel my 100 year old house in town, inside and out, top to bottom and get it just the way I want it (perfect location, but the house needs work).

The rest involves the 75 acres with double-wide out in the country.

Hire a contractor with a huge bulldozer to cut some internal gravel roads, fix the dam drain, remove all trees anywhere near the fence or roads, pave a road all the way around the perimeter for high speed fence checking and racing, raise the fence 2 feet and make it coyote and dog proof. Build a goat shelter on the back side of the property, a larger barn with concrete floor near the house so I could clean it out with a bobcat. Buy a bobcat. Get more goats and put the vet on retainer. Bore a well and add a bathroom and running water to the cabin. Maybe build a stick house in place of the double-wide.

For me the fun part would be planning and watching all this being done.
 

Wow, good plan, Nancy......I would help my children/grandchildren, build a completely new patio on the back of my house and other misc. repairs around here, new fences and improvements to my property, hire daily help for myself and love ones and then do some travel.
 
As I have no children, I'd see that two out of three of my brothers were well taken care of. I would give my little house in San Diego (which is paid off) to one of them. Then I would pay off the mortgage of the other one who is currently working a job he hates just to try to make it across the Social Security finish line. I'd buy them both an annuity which would provide monthly income for the rest of their lives. As for my third brother, maybe I'd buy him a season ticket for whatever baseball team they follow in Indianapolis, where he lives. (I won't go into why he deserves less. Suffice to say, if he won a fortune, I'd get nothing - but I'd constantly hear about all the luxuries he could now afford.) Then I'd do some more traveling and determine where and in what sort of dwelling I'd like to live. As for charity, I'd set up The Glinda Foundation. It would help a number of charities with particular emphasis on those that the republicans hate. My ultimate legacy would be to drive republicans crazy throughout eternity while helping those that republicans like to ignore. :)

Hey, Lynn, beautiful wings you've got there. I float around in an iridescent bubble myself. As for our mermaid, I think you'll find she's great company - lots of fun - but I'm not sure about her flying ability. Well, I could wave my magic wand. And, of course, you have connections that can help solve any problem, don't you?

Thanks Glinda, and yes, I do have connections but I don't abuse them. She is meant to be where she is, maybe I'll see you in your bubble though! :)
