Happy New Year!  

It seems like the world is full of possibilities on the first day of the year - to quote Dr. Seuss "Oh, the things you can do...."  I jokingly make resolutions, because they are more of a wish list - things I want to do.  Here are a few for 2025:

• Make time to get outdoors more
• Go to the coast this year
• Revisit my past blog posts - what was I doing 1/2/5/10 years ago?
• A repeat from last year, take on more do0it0yourself projects
• Learn to play pickle ball
• See friends more often (aka - get out of the house more!)
• A big one is already in the planing stages - visit Japan 
• Reorganize my sewing room
• Finish painting the inside of the house (just the living room and dining room left...)
• Start my Christmas crafting earlier this year.
  

And I'm sure I could find more, but....not real resolutions, just a wish list... 

As a start to fulfilling my resolutions, here's the happenings on 1/1/2013 - we were recovering from floods, fire, and locusts.....a sewage backup that  flooded the garage and the guest house, the HVAC unit had caught fire, and friends over for New Year's Eve dinner....two teenage boys being the locust.....I had made hats for them....
