    I NEED SKILLS!! This would be perfect for some yard work that I’ve been putting off because my old hand trimmers are dull and my husband is too busy with all my other honey dos! I’m drooling!
    I love some guitar strumming skills….I want to take lessons. That’s my goal for the year.

    How about I could use some skills with a knife in the kitchen? I mean, I can cut things and avoid my fingers. I just wish I were ultra speedy. Seems like I would eat more fresh salsa that way. And we all need that.

    I NEED SKILLS. I wish I had common garden sense, it doesn’t seem to be coming easily for me. I called a friend to drive 30 miles to come and tell me what was wrong in a few problem spots of my garden that I had been looking at with bewilderment for a full season. One area she solved by a kick of her boot. oops.
