Fourth of July Celebration
No Independence Day celebration would be complete without the flag, ice cold drinks, and a giant ice pop float! Start your own list if your event is a potluck. Email it to some of your friends for marking or making comments (members). It will ease your mind to know that at least someone is bringing dessert.

Almost too late to plan, but I just gave it a try. They not only got back to me, but I'm scheduled for THE day! Love to support local entrepreneurs. Don't live in Albuquerque? Maybe there is a caterer nearby with specials.

Alder Creek Godiva Chocolate Indulgence
This is an "order on line, but pick up in store" item. You can buy some of the chocolates separately, but they do not sell the ensemble. I'm going to give it a try.

A Shopping trip for President's Day sales
Remember, sometimes the gift isn't a particular thing. And while your eyes glaze over at the thought of new linens, just think how you might feel wrapped in that thick new towel or slipped in between the sheets together. And you just might be saying, "I love you" by doing the shopping together.

Christmas Wishes -Try it!
I didn’t put my Christmas wishes in a bag, write them in a letter to Santa, or give access to my Pinterest boards. I captured them in a Udorami list for a mixture of things, to do’s, and ideas. I hope it becomes a jumble of fun and joy for the givers as well. I wish you a very Merry Christmas and joyful season.

Buy it online and use store pickup. They will hold it for several days. My plastics are disappearing and glass is better for microwaving afterward.

A family concert/sing along
We never did record any songs, but we really should have. I was hoarse the next day and it was fortunate that I didn't have to be up at the chanter's box. Maybe Sunday, Jan 3? It will be last night with all three boys at home in Albuquerque. .

A gift certificate or date at one of their eateries would be excellent. The whole concept of reusing shipping containers and supporting local businesses is very satisfying.

St. Anthony's monastery family visit
They kept the saguaros! I've been there. It's as peaceful as you allow. There is a very rigid schedule for those who need such guidance, but for visitors unused to it, there are just a few strict guidelines out of respect for the humanity of the monks. Give as you feel inclined for your stay, but only orthodox with a priest's recommendation may stay.

His “Super” Birthday
The first Item was supposed to have been for a laugh, but our sons turned it on him for the laugh, by buying one! Some items were purchased locally, so being able to mark it purchased anyway, was wonderful!

Spanakopita Recipe
Not this recipe! My own, of course. Some day I'll share it. For this dinner I make my own crust instead of relying on phyllo dough. It was the only way we ate spinach when we were younger. And it worked on my own sons!

I have three tickets, but these may be able to get in 6 people. A couple hours of a cultural experience anyone? An offer of something to do on the weekend.

Cheese crisps (appetizer)-Michele
Made by Michele to keep the hangrys at bay. We tend to aim for an early dinner in order to watch a movie. Unfortunately, we also run late always, so snacks are a must!
