April is another busy month for us with more birthdays and a 5-day airplane/road trip.  I’m packed; Charlie will wait until the last minute.

Here’s my springtime to-do list:

1. Take a trip to the Midwest to see a solar eclipse.
   

   The eclipse gives us the opportunity to explore some places in the US where we haven’t been.

2.  Repair back porch, clean, and paint.
   

   The steps from the conservatory to the yard need some minor repairs and a fresh coat of stain.

3.  Read a book.
4.  See a movie.
5.  Work on a trip to a warm place for next winter.  So many choices, so little time.
6.  Clear one box from the attic.
   

   Boxes of old statements need to be shredded to make room for recent bills and tax returns.

7.  Put away last year’s tax papers and bills.
8.  Wash at least 4 windows.
   

   The kitchen windows seem to be likely candidates.

9. Pick a word to focus on for the month. My word: COURAGE.
10.  Write a goal list for May, 2024.
