*********************
One of our bestest Winter friends Little Elvis died September 27, 2004 he was almost 15 years old. He had a good life. I miss him sleeping on his bed near the foot of my bed and as old habits are hard to break I look for him automatically when I get up during the night. I miss him.
************************
Far Guy keeps busy; he woodcarves, fixes on his old car and occasionally he goes to a car show. He is my best sous chef and helps readily in the kitchen. His lung function is about 19% so we limit our activities to outdoor gatherings as much as possible. He rarely goes into a store because of perfumes, aftershave and cleaning products that people/stores use.
I keep busy, I have many crochet/craft projects in the works at all times. I am still struggling with pain from all my ritises I do daily exercises and should have bought stock in whoever makes Tylenol. One day at a time.
There you have it the big wrap up for 2024.
What will 2025 bring us? A new Great, time spent with those we love...both humans and dogs!
Happy New Years Eve! We have not stayed up late enough to ring in the New Year for a number of years.
