What Shall I Be?

When I was growing up I had a board game called * “What Shall I Be?” ; designed for girls with choices you’d expect; nurse, teacher, etc. There was one that I always would pick but never ever did — “actress”. But the music lessons, choir, sewing lessons certainly shaped the things I do & enjoy today, as well as those jobs that I’ve had & “retired” from.

I’ve retired my aerobic shoes and microphone, the personal trainer clipboard…retired are the church organ & piano offertory, wedding & hymn books…

Some days now it’s my ladder, a paint brush & faux finishing tools. Other days, garden gloves, a shovel & pruners. Often it’s the sewing machine calling my name, something for my etsy shop. I need to spend MORE time working on new recipes, maybe a cookbook. For now, I hope you enjoy my shop, this blog & my other recipes!

PS…don’t miss my daughter Sara’s wedding pictures & blog!
*Object of the game is to the first player to become a Career Girl.
Players move around the board collecting School Cards, Subject Cards and Personality Cards.
Game ends when one of the players has collected 4 School Cards of one Profession and 2 Subject Cards and 2 Personality Cards that are good for that Profession.
Professions and their respective schools are:
College – Teacher
Airline Training School – Airline Hostess
Drama School – Actress
Nursing School – Nurse
Charm School – Model
Ballet School – Ballet Dancer
(No doctors, lawyers, designers….certainly not Vice President or President!)
