Happy New Year and Welcome 2025!
I
totally missed posting last Monday, so here’s a quick recap since Christmas:
On
the 27th, I got a call from my local animal shelter to do an
emergency foster for a 4-month-old puppy. “Whisper” is the cutest guy with
front paws as big as the palm of my hand. Luckily, the shelter found a rescue
for him, and he left on Thursday to find a family with kids who will love him
as much as my granddaughter and I do.
Christmas
was quiet so not much to report there. My son and his youngest were over and we
watched football most of the day. It was the first since his wife’s passing in
July, so there was an empty chair at my table. Everything was yummy and there
were hardly any leftovers for them to take home.
I
stayed in on New Year’s Eve and had a glass or two of wine. I almost never go
out to celebrate anymore as I have no patience for people my age acting like
totally idiots LOL … yes, this former party animal and social butterfly is
anything but these days. I hope you had a safe New Year's Eve.
Winter
has finally hit Oklahoma as an Arctic Blast overnight on Saturday.
It went from 63 at around 3am to in the 30s around 8am in just a matter of hours
Sunday morning. Luckily, I had already started to drip/stream all the faucets
in the house and the doors under the sinks were propped open. It was a bit
chilly going to church this morning, but nothing compared to the wind chill of 2
at 8:10pm. It should be in the 40s by the end of the week.
I
don’t make New Year’s resolutions anymore because I rarely keep them, even with
good intentions. So, for 2025, I wish you all love, success, happiness, and
joy.
I
can never thank you enough for continuing to read these snippets into my life
as an author. I hope I haven’t bored you too much with them. 😊 After all,
other’s lives are never as glamorous as we may think they are.
May
your Kindle or bookshelf overflow with great books to read!
