wishes – Patricia's Place

What is something you wish you knew how to do?

I wish I knew how to type. Well, I do type every day here and in texting, but I only use two or three fingers. I did take typing in school. After school, I never had reason to use the skill, until I got my first computer. I did try to remember what I had learned and did some practice on a website I found that taught typing. I guess I wasn’t all that motivated and stopped practicing.

Now, I am just too lazy to bother with typing properly. I do just fine with the way I type. Might take me a bit longer to get a post done or reply to a comment, but I don’t mind. I have plenty of time to hunt and peck on the keyboard.

Two Shoes Tuesday’s prompt this week is

CANDLE

My mother had several traditions that were important to her.
One of them was the Christmas Wish Candle and Book.

It was a red pillar candle brought out on Thanksgiving Day
and stayed on a table in the living room until New Years Day.

Everyone who came to the house during that time was invited to
light the candle, make a wish, blow the candle out, and sign the book.
And I mean everyone.
Friends, family, milkman, mailman, repairmen, and delivery people…
Some years there were pages of names and some years only a few.

I don’t know what happened to the Wish Candle and Book.
If I had a Wish Candle I would wish to have Ma’s Wish Book.
