January Road Trip & Plans for February

We took a Saturday road trip with special friends to a family member's home-away-from-home in Mt Mariah, Arkansas.  The temperature really dropped while we were there so we enjoyed a roaring fire in the Arkansas Stone fireplace.

We took a long walk around the private property which is bordered by the Little Missouri River

I climbed the hill overlooking the log cabin.  A beautiful view.

 February

Because I don't seem to be accomplishing a whole lot in my retirement, I've decided to adapt an idea from one of my favorite blogs, "Inspired Design" and create a list of things to do to make the upcoming month of February a fun and hopefully productive one. "Fun and production don't just fall into our laps, we have to create it."  So, here is what I've come up with:

PLANS FOR FEBRUARY

Start a new Bible Study.

Take a photograph a day. It will be fun to look back at the end of the month.

Have lunch and see a matinee movie with couple friends at least once during the month.

Possibly join the FBC Handbell Choir.

Write a handwritten letter telling someone how special they are to me and why.

Touch base with a long-distance friend.

Take a mini road trip, favorite friends required.

Scan and save copies of parent's love letters for posterity.

Enjoy a weekend with Sisters.

Clean out closets and compile Goodwill stash.

Find a new hairstylist.

Make one new recipe a week. 

Visit College Station friends.

Watch Ava Grace play soccer.

What's on your list?
