Sheba, Happy New Years Day!
Hubs and I hiked today and beat the rain. It was wet but I have hiking boots for that muddy rainy weather. I hadn’t even worn them yet this year so it was fun for me. The creeks are loud and moving quickly. We took a different path in the same forest type location. It was all uphill so I loved it and hubs suffered through it 🙂 but it was his pick. He doesn’t know but I kept looking behind me on the trail and holding out the hiking stick ( behind me) in case we met any critters on the path. We didn’t so I was happy. I did hear some Roosters though.
I know you are fit and thin. As for me, I do need to lose some weight. It’s always been that way and I always have to be careful. That’s all ok.
Hope you enjoyed your neighbors house and the Moon last night.

Oodie, Happy New Year! Thanks for the note. I posted one a while back but am not sure you saw it. Best to you and Mr. Oddie and hope he gets home in 2026!

Sheba, One more day and 2026 is here! Wow! Have a great time at your neighbors party.

Wishing you and your family a wonderful Happy New Year!

Shopping was ok. Need a few more items for tomorrow.

HAPPY NEW YEARS ALL!

RIP dear.

Sheba, Yes, I like this one as well. Tomorrow I’ll get to the grocery store early.
Do you have plans for New Year’s Eve.
I read your Iris Apfel post. It’s great she had confidence and dressed her authentic self but I wish she thought she was pretty. She has an interesting story and great style.

Shoelady, Thanks for the explanation. A relative from the East Coast mentioned doing a Shrimp Cocktail every year so I was thinking it was a thing there.
Happy New Year! It will be here soon.

Sheba, This looks fun! I’m going to try my version of something similar.

Sheba, good to hear everyone is enjoying or enjoyed their travels.
Hubs and I traveled today (not really far) to hike in a Forest type area. He asked up hill hike or traverse and then up hill? and why does he ask? I love uphill hikes so we did it and while I loved it he was getting a bit tired: maybe having some 2nd thoughts but he got me back when I had to cross a small creek lol. No animal sightings although we know they are all there including some pesky mosquitoes.
Hope you have a wonderful evening! Hello to Poppy and the cats.

Shoelady, Wishing you and you family a Happy New Year!

Is having shrimp cocktail on NY’s eve an East Coast tradition?

Sheba, Thank you for the concern. All is good where I live. We had wind and some rain in varying degrees but nothing too bad. I see some areas are hit pretty hard.
I mostly stay close to home at this time of year to avoid all the issues.

By the way, HSN is freezing my screen with all the headers so my patience is being tested.
It actually freezes my computer too (for a minute to two). If I miss posting that might be part of it. You know, my computer hit the wall…. cause I threw it…. (no really) 🙂

Hope you and your family have a Happy New Year!
🍾 ♥

Oodie, Thanks for thinking of us…. Our weather has been windy at night and some rain but its mostly over now. We didn’t get storms like many other areas.
Hope you are enjoying the season.
Wishing you and Mr. Oddie a very Happy New Year! ♥

Sheba, Hope you had a great day and enjoyed your Christmas!
Glad your Niece is having a great trip in Ireland. We really keep meaning to get there but there is so much to see all over even here at home.
The rain wasn’t too bad here, but we had a lot of wind last night. I found a few branches from a tree which was unusual. Today I hiked and lots of people were out too. I loved that! People with their dogs in Christmas headbands and fun things.

Oodie, Happy New Year! Hope its the year your husband gets home. 🍾

Shoelady, Wishing your a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!🎄
