I appreciate your list of goals...some I should adopt as well. I wish we could plan a little getaway this month for our 54th anniversary...but with Dr. appointments and other issues going on, I doubt it will happen this month. Besides, I'd rather wait until it cools down a bit. It's too hot to travel anywhere right now. I hope you can stay at your little cabin often. Please share more pictures of it when you can. I love seeing that sweet and happy place! I used to have people over after church for lunch back when I was younger and had more energy. Nowadays we just go out to eat at a local diner with church friends after church and then go home and take a nap. No clean up or mess...but I miss having people in our home. I just don't have the energy to do as much entertaining now as I used to. I understand now why older folks rarely ever invited us to their homes for dinner when we were in the ministry...besides the fact that we had 3 active boys, I know now how hard it is to prepare a meal on a Sunday morning before church. Somehow I used to do it, but that was then and this is now. LOL. I admire you and wish we lived closer so we could visit! Have a blessed week.
