The Mapleton List

I live in Mapleton. People come to visit.

They're often here for just a couple of days. There is too much to do.

Every time someone comes here we get all creatively inspired and develop at least 20 fun project ideas and must-dos. From impromptu dance performances and pompom installations to harmonica songwriting and funny photography projects.

And usually not one is done because the time flies between the sleeping, the eating and the talking.

But this time my brother and I developed 'The Mapleton List'... (previously titled the Mapleton Bucket List).

It's Dave's last night tonight and although we haven't written the 'trail walking song' or painted a chess board using originally themed painted pebbles as pieces or even visited the beach...
today we painted.

Just an hour on the balcony today and look what we did! We can tick something off the list.

I remembered how much I love painting and that I should make time for it. So guests are especially good for that. And now I have a hard-copy memory of Dave's visit, as does he.

Pom pom installations! I am so there. You are a shining example of someone that embraces the day and lives with intention. Now off to the beach with you.
