Happy New Year!

 We had a wonderful week long visit from our daughter Sarah and family from Buffalo.  Granddaughter #3 is quite sharp and enjoying first grade. Granddaughter #4 is an active almost two year old. Lots of new words learned while she was here.

Emily's family that lives close by had lots of time with us too during the holidays.

No resolutions for this year. I know what I need to do as far as exercising and eating.

Holding my breath a lot about the upcoming election and whether we say no to a wannbe dictator who attempted a coup in 2021.

Almost read 100 books in 2023. I got to 94.  In 2022 the total was 68.

We are undertaking another renovation project this month.  This time it's the bathroom/laundry room. Plumber comes on the 5th to give us an estimate on the plumbing portion.  Flooring already picked out and ordered. New washer and dryer will require an electrician as we are changing over from a propane dryer to an electric one.  New vanity already selected but not purchased yet. I'll need to do some painting of laundry cabinets very soon.

Christmas decorations came down on New Year's Day! I'm ready for 2024!
