Happy Monday! Well, it is for us since we don't work for a living anymore! Actually coming up on the 9th it'll be 15 years we've been retired! Hard to believe it's been that long, but it's the best thing we ever did. I was 54 and Ken was 58, so glad we didn't go any longer!
Diane and Jesse came and spent New Year's with us so that was nice. Again a lot of time spent outside in the cold with fires going. Like they both said, they come to enjoy being outside and the fires! Ok..we can make that happen. LOL.
We did spent New Year's Eve with John and Karen. Thankful that John's here to celebrate with us this New Year! He's doing well for someone who two months ago we all thought we'd lose him.
He's on a heart healthy diet, not exactly his favorite but Karen is making sure he sticks to it. I am helping out with heart healthy treats, as he does like sweets and we like a bit with our coffee in the am. Since I've been making them for Ken for the last few years, I just make more of the same recipe. Today was Low Carb Oatmeal Raisin Cookies and Morning Glory Bread.
Champagne Sunday yesterday...YUM! |
Decided to venture from the Low Carb Pizza this week and have burgers for brunch. The chicken we took next door last night for our dinner. Same tonight π |
They are in Reno buying Karen a new car. They also bought a smaller fifth wheel as they're getting rid of the big one. He's hoping to go back to work once he's cleared to drive in March. We spent last night over there with the pups and we'll spend tonight too.
Chloe and Mason made us these adorable Salt Dough Ornaments for Christmas. Can't wait to have them on the tree next Christmas. π |
Grandson Adam is in Arkansas visiting his parents. I know he enjoyed himself and of course his parents are happy he visited. He'll be back to CA tomorrow.
Not much going on here. It's cool and windy right now. Ken just brought wood to the front porch as a fire is definitely needed.
Some sad news last night from California. My Brother in Law, Bobby lost his dad Pat yesterday. Not that it wasn't expected, but still hard to say good bye. Pat was a very sweet man and I know he was very loved. Thinking of you Bobby and Linda, Dusty, Chelsea, Owen and Cassidy π
Looks like it's time for Happy Hour with the furry kids next door. Have a great evening! πΊπ·
Sounds like a good way to bring 2025 in!
ReplyDeleteSorry for the family loss. Even expected, it's never easy.
Yes it was good. No loss is never easy. It seems they have so much to do in such a short time too. :(
DeleteI just love your fires!! Haven't sat around a fire pit in ages. So sorry for the family loss. It's very sad to lose a loved one. I remember making those salt dough ornaments ... may just have to try it again!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nancy. I love the ornaments and have never made them. Treasure these for sure!
DeleteIt looks like everyone is enjoying the Outdoor Fires.
ReplyDeleteLosing anyone is hard, whether it's accidental, or a long-drawn-out illness.
Stay Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Thank you ! We do enjoy our fires :)
