Review of 2016 and 2017
Ah, so much has happened and yet, in many ways, it seems as if time has stood still. By necessity, my priorities changed. My focus changed. My world changed.

Review of 2015
For the last few years, I’ve posted brief summaries of the year as it ended. I haven’t been posting much lately, and with the loss of my sweet hubby, I was hesitant to do a review this year, but I thought I would try a mini review. But, forever in my mind, 2015 will always…

We had a great Thanksgiving with wonderful, out-of-town friends. Thankfully, no Black Friday madness for us! None of us relish the thought of being crushed by crowds.
