Time for Myself - update #2

This is another update to the year long on-going rejuvenating time to 'sharpen the saw' as Stephen Covey wrote about in 8 Habits of Highly Effective People.
In March I had minor knee surgery to repair the torn meniscus in my right knee.  That has altered some of my plans.  Much of my rejuvenation comes while I am in nature hiking or biking, and both of these are somewhat limited by my knee rehab. 

To recap:
January - day trip to Appleton to see the Leonardo Da Vinci exhibit at their History Museum. 
February - day trip to Lake Geneva's Winterfest to see the national snow carving competition and hiked a trail at Big Foot Beach State Park that they light by luminaries
March - as much as I tried to make Wally's Day something extra special, it really did not work out that way and my March event was the Zion Passion Play.  This was something that has been on my bucket list for a while and going there with Barb and Jon ended up enhancing the experience. 

And moving forward:

April -still planning on the mega hike at Starved Rock State Park.  The physical therapist has given the ok, with the caveat I need to stop half way if the knee is hurting.  I'm registered and have the hotel room paid for; Barb will be going with me.

May - the weekends are already filling up but I'm tentatively holding Sunday, May 13 and pairing it with a vacation day on Monday, May 14 for a trip to Spring Green area to see the House on the Rock and Cave of the Mounds.  Both have been on my (minor) bucket list for a while.  Along with them, if there is time, I can add the Frank Lloyd Wright house, Taliesin; and possibly camping at Tower Hill State Park.  Solo camping has also been on my list and I do want to test out my new tent - although I may find mid May still too cool to for camping.  Alternative plans are there are several movies coming out that look really good - may be time to do a personal double feature, with a hike? or a bonfire?  Or maybe the day in Madison with a bike ride from the farmers marked to picnic park, another ride through the Arboretum, and possibly a tour of Camp Randall and the Kohl's Center.

June - again June is already filling up.  I have tentative calendar holds on Sat, June 1 and Sun, June 2 - this is the weekend Danny graduates from St Dom's and there may be family celebrations, so its just tentative until I hear about those plans.   I also put a tentative hold on the weekend of Jun 14 - 16.  That may be a good weekend for a Door County visit, with the extra stop to the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help where there was the approved apparition; or possibly a camping weekend
