Attend a professional play / musical in 2008.
Thanks to our son ... 15 months ago

We attended the play Bud Not Buddy at the MN Children’s Theatre. I will probably want to go to an adult show as well but this will be done for now.



keep bees
Just put on hold for a while. 16 months ago

Rick and I attended the bee keeping classes we have been thinking about for so long. We are determined to keep bees, but we won’t be moving on that goal until next spring. We don’t want to rush. I would like to purchase some of the gear (the smoker in particular) this year, but it’s not imperative.

I’ll set this aside in the “I give up” list in order to free up more room here.



Finish redoing the bathroom. (read all 2 entries…)
