Now, the To-Do list is getting payback. The list is an entire 8 x 11 page long, 10 pt. Times New Roman. That&#8217;s some humongoid list. And that was where I stopped. I wasn&#8217;t making a two-page list. The other stuff is in my head, however. It&#8217;s weekend stuff. It doesn&#8217;t merit a list.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">However, I am taking the time to refill the well, too. Yesterday was my father&#8217;s birthday, and I enjoyed a leisurely two hours visiting with the oldster, my mom, and the Little Pisser. Today, I&#8217;m having lunch with a couple of old writing buddies (as in I&#8217;ve known them forever) that I used to meet with once a month, but now we&#8217;re lucky if we manage once a year. And this weekend I&#8217;ll enjoy an outing with both sisters and my niece.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I&#8217;ve also had a lot of fun experimenting with my new camera. Although I&#8217;m not much of a gardener, I&#8217;ve discovered I love strapping on the extra-super-duper zoom lens and taking pictures of flowers. I&#8217;ll post a few over the next couple of weeks.
