I love making lists like these - and reviewing them every few months to see what I've done or still have on the drawing board. It's fun, too, to look back over the years and see what things are STILL on my list of things I want to do.
Several of yours would be on my list.
take a cruise (my favorite type of vacation right now!)
plant a flower bed in the front yard (I keep trying but the squirrels keep eating my bulbs - guess I'll have to actually get small plants to start the flower bed instead of starting from seeds and bulbs - I have the perfect tree that needs a flower-ring around it)
institute family movie night (we have Pizza night that usually includes a movie - usually on Tuesday but last night we had company so we were out instead of in)
visit Pompeii, Rome, Venice, and Tuscany (N wants to go to "that city where the streets are all water." I'd love to go to the east side of Italy and then over to Greece)
get rid of Aunt L's china (my "family heirloom stored china" is my Great-Uncle Bill's that is sitting in N's closet since no one else wanted it. I don't even have a place to display it.)
decide on paint colors for the walls (We're hopefully painting the whole interior of the house by spring - I want to use New Day Dew which is a Disney color and very light but not totally white. I painted N's room with it and loved it so much I want it for the whole house except my bathroom which is a lovely shade of yellow).
