Goodbye and good riddance to 2021! 2022 hope you turn out better for all of us!
Hair trim went well yesterday. Already crazy drivers were out and about so I’m very glad we are doing nothing today. They’re saying we’re under a winter storm watch for Saturday and Saturday night and we could get anywhere from 4-8 inches of snow! I say I’ll believe it when I see it as they’re wrong more than right.
Debbie and Jim flew to Phoenix yesterday for his daughter’s wedding. They were flying out of O’Hare and supposed to leave at 4 but were delayed until 6:30 but at least the flight was not cancelled. They flew on Southwest. I think she said they return January 4th. Not sure if the wedding is today or tomorrow but even though dress is formal it’s being held at her Mom’s and supposed to be in the backyard and presided over by her mother’s partner who is a minister. She was Jim’s first wife and divorced when she told him she was gay and has been with her partner ever since.
I’m hoping with this daughter finally married, it has been postponed many times, that Debbie and Jim will finally move forward with their plans as his mother told me he was waiting for this daughter to get married as he didn’t want to take away from her wedding. So we’ll see as he did tell us he would ask us before asking Debbie.

Im just stopping by to say happy new year to everyone
Hope you all have a good year. Ive had a couple of hard onrs but all in all im thankful for the good things. I hope this coming year i can be as healthy as possible.
One more thing, i was reading yesterdays thread and some say i said something about intimidate..someone was reading too fast because i didnt use rhat word. Not upset just calling it to your attention.
Does anyone have a particulR food they eat on new years day? I usually have black eyed peas, spinach and some kind of pork. I didnt want to cook black eyed peas just for me so i bougjt a can of them.
Got the dogs nails cut. Doggieboy didnt want any part of it. Victoria had to hold him while the lady cut them
Poor baby. Hes old and his bones hurt when he is held. Lily didnt want it done either but she didnt raise a fuss. They both got treats afterward.

I got it Lucy & hope I won't regret taking it!
We'll have a fun day today. I mentioned it yesterday. We'll be home tonight, safe & warm. We are to get about 4 inches of snow tomorrow & I hope they are right. We still have some snow from a few days ago but it is spotty. Will be nice to have the clean fresh kind - but it doesn't stay clean long. If only I could be out & really enjoy it - like shovel sidewalks or such. Those were the good old days that make for happy memories now:)

I have some frozen black eyed peas that I will have with a skillet of cornbread.
Marlene, just do the thread your way and enjoy your month.

Happy new year! I sure hope that this year finally sees us turning the corner on covid...
Today is my birthday. My 22-year-old son had plans to go out with Friends camping but he came home from Macy's yesterday sick... He doesn't think he has covid but he is not feeling well at all...
So I'm hoping that he starts feeling better.
I'm splurging for dinner tonight since it is my birthday as well as New Year's Eve. I bought some champagne and I also have a prime rib.
Prime rib is my favorite and I haven't had any since July 2021 I started my WW journey. I'm determined to not worry about the points and like Scarlett O'Hara I will think about it tomorrow at Tara!
I hope everyone has a good day and a better year...

Happy Birthday, Shragae! What's your lucky number, if you don't mind telling us? Can I have a piece of that delicious looking cake? What a nice tax deduction you were for your parents!!
Hope your son only has a mild bug of some sort. I haven't heard any more about my DD with Covid. I'll call her hubby tomorrow even though he said he would let us know if things got worse. It's a mother's right to be concerned.

I was awake at 4:30 bright eyed and bushy tailed. played Mahjong for awhile ( know you are not supposed to go on computer when can't sleep, but can only roll and toss for so long)
Now I am up dressed and most of the Christmas decorations are down. Will wrap them and get them to basement. I will probably find more as the day goes on but anything that looks even a bit Christmassy will be taken down. Still have lot of snow men and may take some more of them down too. I don't like too much clutter. but handle it okay in December.
Boy, I sure hope that next year is better year. I can say, I have been okay with staying home. Been nervous off and on and places I still do not want to go. I need to get perm but will check to be sure all of her family has gotten over Covid. They are unvaccinated and seemed like all of them got it at once. I stayed away from her cause though she says she has been careful , I did not trust that, especially with the babies here. I am okay with not going anywhere but grocery store and rite aid guess it is fine for now.
My friend called me this morning and got me out of bed!! She will call me if she is awake at 11:30.
Going to check and see if there is a Rose Bowl parade this year. Have not heard a thing about that.
I do enjoy that parade.
Sandy, I love out door weddings. When my DGD#1 got married we were out in the country is a beautiful setting and was a hot lovely day. When the minister said , I now pronounce you Man and Wife, a rooster crowed off in the distance. Thought it was very fitting!! So far we have had that one, one on Beach in Outer Banks and one also out in the country at a big barn were the reception was. Wedding out door with a beautiful rose trellis and flowers growing everywhere. 2 more to go. Not sure when or where!!
We used to have pork and sauerkraut but have not heard about any of the kids doing that this year. Pork and I do not get along too well and since I am really not into that tradition I guess I am not sure what I am going to have. Maybe a cheese burger on the George Foreman .

Hi!
Good job with the month, Lucy! Marlene, enjoy!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHRAGAE!
We met our friends for breakfast this morning, came home, and got busy with the usual chores. Laundry is finished and put away, and a loaf of bread is in the machine and will be ready in about half an hour.
We have both walked our circles in the house for the morning. I am actually walking more safely, since I have a level surface.
This evening, I'll put the black-eyed peas in the crockpot to be ready tomorrow at noon, when DD and her family will join us (weather permitting.) Winter plans are always iffy. It is too turn very cold tonight with a low of 14º or so. Tomorrow, I will bake a pan of corn bread to enjoy with them. I like to put the cornbread in my bowl and cover it with the peas. I use a can of ham to cook the peas, and we enjoy the dish.
We never stay up for the countdown any more. I am usually asleep by 9:00. But I do wish eachof y ou a happy and healthy New Year!
Prayers for all those who may be out and about tonight.
Hugs!
Diane

I won't stay up either. There may be some fireworks out here but they won't keep me awake.
I don't think it is to get real cold until tomorrow night. I went ahead and brought my avacado plant in.
