A New Year...2017


Well it's a New Year...2017...What happened to 1969???  1972???  I remember my Dad trying to tell me to appreciate each and every day...month..year.  I try but it all seems to be flying by me!  Oh well, guess that's the true meaning of "life goes on..."
We had a nice Christmas and New Years.  The kiddos came visiting which is always a sweet time.  We surely miss them.  The kids and grankids staying with us, laughter and love all around but then they leave to head back to their respective "stays there" places...Hahaa...WHAT?  Well?!  This is Home...always has been and always will be!  Larry and I are still trying to adapt to being childless and pretty much alone where we live.  Friends all live out of town and in-laws aren't the visiting kind.  My sister is also aloof so...basically, it's just us.  Our granddaughter Samantha lives about twenty miles from us and does visit sometimes but with the boyfriend and her work, those times have slowed down to a crawl.  It's natural...and we're happy and proud of her.
We laugh and say all the time maybe we should move too but Larry's parents are still living so...here we stay.  
Hope you all enjoyed the holidays!  And hoping you got everything you wished for...
