#67 - Get my nice Bjorn dress shoes fixed

I still have paper towels from previous stock-ups but I am going to try to avoid buying them in the future.

#93 - Send a birthday card on time

This card was to my mom.

#94 - Make homemade softscrub

Love it!

I can do the single stitch, and I have learned how to turn my work.

#15 - Earn enough Swagbucks to purchase another season of the Andy Griffith Show

I am almost ready to get my 2nd $5 gift card.

#19 - Complete my Kodaly Certification

I have completed 2 of 3 levels. Level 3 will be this summer.

#22 - Create an emergency substitute teacher box at each school.

The box at Lincoln Trail is done.

#32- Get new tires for Seth's truck

The tires have been ordered.

#55 - Memorize a poem

I have started to memorize "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost.

#77 - Read 24 new fiction books

I read one fiction book in September. It is called Bringing Them Home by Elizabeth Wiens.

#89 - Grow my favorite herbs in an indoor planter

I am growing a number of herbs in my various windows. So far the dill and basil have sprouted!

I don't expect every month's update to be this extensive, as many of these things were started before I made the list. However, the first month's progress is encouraging!
