THAT is a LOT of green... I feel good about last year.  Goals were met...
What are my GOALS for 2012?
OK, in writing again!!

• Back door needs to be fixed near the garage - fix it and then have it vinyl clad to avoid future rot!
• Sprinklers - yes, we HAVE to add this back on there
• Revisit tree solution - as sickening as that is to say
• plant flower beds to the north side of the pool
• Transfer the lovely Wisteria vine dad has for me to my arbor THIS spring.. just before the thaw and the roots start growing...
• get the rest of the house organized with the group
• get the craft room up to snuff (scary statement)

Bigger goals that really will get done in time, is travel more - stretch my legs in different directions a bit.  That one is a personal goal.  I am taking Liz to Italy and for the first time ever I am scared to travel abroad.  It has been way too long and my adventure level is really lagging with age.  I used to be easy going, jump on a plane, figure it out when I get there... now?  Scared spit-less - time to break out of the comfort zone and get back out there... time to travel and see the world.

First up - Leslie in UAE.  I can NOT wait!!!!
I'm excited to share this with Leslie as she's a kindred free spirit.   I can't wait to see a part of the world I have never experienced before.  I'm excited that when I go for the gusto I won't break tradition and seek out the furthest place on EARTH I could go to start my travels again ;)  First time I traveled outside of the states ever, I went to Australia - why break tradition?

So there you have it...What are your goals for this year?
