Welcome to 2025! We woke this morning to a winter wonderland. And it's still snowing. This first few days of the new year have been busy. But I'm thankful I can be busy. Here are my Fave Fives from this week. This link Friday Fave Fives will take you to where you can join us.
1. I have been going through all my photos from 2024, deleting some, editing others. This thought keeps coming up to me: How blessed I am to be living an active life surrounded by beauty and people I love. I have had opportunities to travel to places I never ever expected I could visit. I am so thankful!
2. Older Daughter always has the week between Christmas and New Years off from work. That has given us extra time to spend with her this week. One day, we enjoyed an afternoon of coffee and conversation with Dr. Mike (our son who is visiting us for a few months) and her. Honestly, I just love to sit there and listen to them chat and discuss how to solve all the problems of the world. I wanted to take a photo of them, but I also didn't want to interrupt the conversations.
3. I finished that black scarf I was weaving. It looks good. Pictures and details coming soon (when I can get some decent pictures.)
4. We rang in the New Year with a family dinner and watching people celebrate the New Year in Paris and in London. Watching 'the ball drop' in London at 7PM our time makes it easy to crawl in bed before all the fireworks exploded here in Ohio. That's the best way to celebrate the New Year.
5. Yesterday was Warrior Boy's fifteenth birthday! He wanted to have dinner (it had to be Five Guys and DQ for dessert) at our house. Then we watched a movie. Tranformers One. His choice. This is one of the few photos I took of him during our trip to England last June. He loves dogs. Those dreads...
Now we're off to spend the day with him today by visiting the Dayton Air Force Museum!
Be thankful. Be blessed. Celebrate a New Year.
