New Year's Eve At The Farmhouse...

You know where I'll be!

I'll be back tomorrow with my Word of the Year!

Happy New Year's Eve, friends. 

New Year's Eve...

As usual, we'll be tucked in at the farmhouse wearing our favorite sweats, watching a movie or other program, sharing a quiet meal, and we'll stay awake to kiss in 2025.  If you're going out, please be safe so we can all share our next year (and more) together.

See you "next year". lol

Cooking In The Weekend…

Handsome and I had a tasty date night meal for our anniversary on Thursday. It was a quiet way to celebrate our thirty eighth year as a married couple. 

Yesterday, we ran errands together in the morning, and I went to the kitchen after we got home.  I had three English roasts waiting to be pressure canned. After I trimmed and cubed the meat, five pints were processed, labeled and put in the pantry.

Handsome is getting his things pulled together in preparation for his trip to Florida. We’ll ring in the new year together, and he’ll be on his way by Monday morning. He’s so excited to be playing music with dear friends for the next few months, and I’m equally excited for him. I’ll share more in the coming days  

Happy New Year’s Eve! If you’re going out, have a great time and be safe. 

 

New Year’s Eve…

I got the sweetest call yesterday. Out of the blue, a long-time blog reader and shop customer contacted me just to say "hello" and tell me that she enjoyed reading my daily posts. I let the call go to voicemail (I do that when I don't recognize the number), and she left a lovely message for me, along with her phone number. Of course, I called her back.

Lydia B and I ended up chatting for nearly an hour. She was delightful, and I thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent sharing stories and learning about each other. We have a lot in common. It was the most wonderful way to end 2021. 

Lydia, dear, I don't think you know just how much I enjoyed talking with you. Thank you so much for taking the time to call and leave a message so I could call you back!

One of the things I shared with her is the fact that I've been contemplating my "Word" for 2022. I'll share that with you tomorrow...in the new year. Can you even believe how quickly the last twelve months passed? Let's chat more about 2022 in my next post, shall we?

We're staying home (Handsome is feeling 100% better, thank you!), and we'll have a nice evening together to welcome the new year. If you're going out, drive carefully and stay safe. I'll see you next year. heehee
