My April Goals list actually looks pretty good as we near the end of the month. Hurray! Only a few things not crossed off.

And, I must be absolutely crazy or something because I just volunteered to host my dad's 85th birthday party at our little condo over Memorial Day weekend. I have NO idea how everyone will fit in here, but, oh well, I guess we'll somehow manage. Don't think we'll be playing the limbo or twister though. LOL

The whole thing was one of my brother's ideas. Originally, he was going to rent a vacation house up here for a week and we were going to have it there, but he flaked out. All talk and no action. (Gotta be one in every family I suppose.) Then, I thought we could have it at the Senior Center which is right over the fence from our place, but it was going to cost $300 just for the building. Then, I suggested to my sister having a bbq at the big lake 7 miles from here because our dad loves the lake, but she nixed that idea because of bugs (can you imagine?-haha). She's such a city girl!

Having a party here will definitely motivate me to get the remainder of the boxes unpacked and put away. I don't mind at all that everything isn't perfect, just wish we had more space. The ONLY thing I miss about the old house is the space we had for get-togethers.

So...party planning will be on my Goal's List for May.

Carol: I just know that it will be a most wonderful celebration! I'm sure everyone will manage to fit into your place and they will all have a lovely time.

Another change of plans...It turns out the place that my sister is paying to cater the food has a casual banquet room that we can use so we're moving the party there. (Unless she changes her mind again. ) It's fine with me since she's the one paying the bill. I just wish she'd make up her mind so I can send out the invitations and think about something else. I've got them all designed and ready to print, just need to make sure she's not going to change the location again.

Pleased to report that I completed everything on my April Goals list with the exception of:
- Having DS take the recliner to his storage (His house is supposed to be closing escrow on May 18th so not really necessary for him to move it twice.)
- Make/hang curtain in living room (Haven't got to it yet, but it will match the one in the laundry area.)
- My office (It's almost there...)

I'll just move those little items over to my May list.
