HAPPY NEW YEAR, PEOPLES!!!!


I thought I'd start off 2017 with a selfie that I took in Japan.  

First thing in the morning, brushing my teeth, I realized just how goofy I looked and I couldn't stop laughing.  I grabbed my iPad, and tried to capture the essence of the moment. The more I tried, the more ridiculous I looked, and the more I laughed. I think all my noise woke Sweetie up. I remember her saying, "Whatcha do-inggggg?"

I printed out an 8 x 10 photo and framed it. It was my grab-bag contribution for our family Christmas get-together. My 6-year-old nephew Colin chose it. 

He liked it so much that he kept hugging it saying, "nobody steal this. nobody steal this."  

Wow, I didn't know he loved me so much.

Or it could've been the $20 that I had included. 

Anyway, I hope to keep on blogging in the coming year . . . though probably not on a daily basis like last year.  We'll see, yah. Thank you, peoples, for sticking around for the ride . . .

Hilarious! I really appreciate all the time you put into your blogging. Your Kauai trip posts inspired a family trip to Kauai for us in October - it was a wonderful 3 day getaway.

All the best to you and your family for 2017!
