Honey Do-DONE

Hello.

Earlier in the summer I told you about my "honey do" list. I had twenty items on the list and I hoped my husband and I could complete them by the end of the summer. drum roll.....

It gives me great pleasure to announce that the entire list is officially completed. The last "to do" item was crossed off yesterday when my daughter and I walked into the door after a day long visiting our last college.

I took great pleasure in crossing off number 14. I'm leaving the list up on my cabinet door for a few days so I can relish in the pleasure of looking at all the scribble lines over each chore.

Other completed tasks were: building a deck, expanding the driveway, growing grass (yes, we're still at it), cleaning carpets, putting up crown molding, visiting colleges and on and on. Wow, I can't believe how much we accomplished in ten weeks. (I'm sure my husband can.)

So what will I do now? I've already worked out my daughter's "complete college applications" schedule, SAT and ACT sign-up deadline and practice time for Violin auditions. I know she feels less stress when she has a concrete plan to follow. (She's like me.) I'm not planning anything for my husband because he's a school teacher and he's as good as gone from the beginning of the school year until the end. Teachers work as many hours outside of the classroom as they do inside. As for me, I'm hoping to go back to college to take English classes. I haven't heard yet.

Immediately though, my family is going to Cape Cod for one week for a bit of R and R before the Autumn season knocks on our busy door.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer and I'll write soon about our vacation antics.

Have hope,
Donna
