Confessions of *Failure and Success

my wife is leaving

For three weeks on June 29th to Cape Town South Africa and I am looking for ideas to send her off.

Here is what I am working with right now:

*A spiritual formation journal with an entry for her to read every day, and respond with me in her journal

*Uploading her favorite music to itunes in her new laptop.

*Buying little gifts for her to open on her way over.

Ok, so what do you think?

If you know anything about me, you know that the simple small things are very hard for me to do, such as getting the rust fixed on my car, or the tires rotated.

I would rather focus on larger tasks at hand, such as putting up an electric dog fence, finishing the dinning room floor, and painting the walls, ordering pictures for the dinning room, putting in an island with a dish washer in the kitchen, building a patio, grooming the lawn etc. (yet nothing seems to get done)

The thing is I want to get one of these tasks done and I want to do it for Andrea.

Any thoughts…
