Happy New Year! 2025 is only about 15 hours old and already it feels like it’s going to be a good year.
Christmas 2024. To borrow from Charles Dickens’opening of “A Tale of Two Cities,” it was the best of Christmases, it was the worst of Christmases. For the first time ever, I celebrated the day with all the grandkids together: Ashley and her 2 lovely daughters came from KY to spend the day with her cousins Katie and Josh, plus great grandkids and extended family members. But it almost didn’t happen.Two days before, I wound up in the ER with an allergic reaction to something I ate that must have had preservatives in it. I was released on Christmas Eve after a CAT Scan and an MRI revealed no abnormalities. Whew.
Spent my first day of the year doing laundry/ironing and miscellaneous chores around the house. Very quiet.
