Welcome to a new year! 2026! If last year proved anything, it was how quickly a year can rush past us. So, as Heidi and I drove around a bit today to look at the recent snowfall and icing, I couldn’t help but think that I am ready for spring! To start this year’s Friday Five, here we go!
- I know I have mentioned that I had one more closet to clear out in 2025. I filled up crates with all the shelf and floor stuff and brought it out to the family room. While watching TV, I have gone through everything, and by tomorrow, I will begin arranging the shelves in my two closets. Finally, this will be done!
- This is a special time of year for me. Four years ago, I flew to Nashville and then drove up to pick up Heidi.
She was such a little snuggler, even from the start
Our first night together at the hotel.I remember holding her for the first time. I am so grateful that I found this girl. What a loving companion she is for me.
- The year has started with a fair amount of snow and ice. Yes, it is pretty, but with it comes the bills for heating oil and snow plowing. Ah well.
- Next week I’m going to an Optician for an eye exam and to order new glasses. Oddly enough, the idea of getting new glasses is something I am looking forward to.
- Today, I will enjoy the beauty all around me. How fortunate Heidi and I are to live amongst such beauty, even if it is cold!
Happy New Year!
