Saturday 1/2/16 Hello Kitty, Dog Park again! Dinner Party & Mary & Chri’s house

Saturday 1/2/16

New Year’s Resolution:

Spend More Time With My Dog!

I REALLY wanted to buy these glasses but
I was good & didn’t. Self Discipline!
We really don’t need more
drinking glasses, we have so many!

Dog Park again!

Weasel playing with Hunter the coonhound

someone found the Sunny Spot!

I made these:

Spicy Tuna and Avocado Cucumber Sushi Bites

they were Super Delicious.

Here is the recipe:

Our friend Stephanie is the wine maker 🙂

We’ve all been friends for a looooong time!
Almost 50 years. How crazy is that???

from the old neighborhood….
John, Mary, Paul, Marguerite, ME!

Marguerite’s son is going to hike the Appalachian Trail.

An Appalachian Trail thru-hiketakes between five and seven months

to complete the entire trail.

Would YOU do the hike, given the opportunity?

The girls! Life long friends.

Marguerite, me & Mary

FUN bringing in the New Year 🙂

**************************************

The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year.
It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose;
new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes.
Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions,
he would make no resolutions.
Unless a man starts afresh about things,
he will certainly do nothing effective.

The fact that you haven’t given up
is success in itself.
Most people give up before they even begin…
but not you.
No, you wake up every day and get things done.
You crawl inch by inch against the current
because you refuse to give up.
You’re still in it.
