Going Forward Into the New Year!

I believe that a lot of us look at a New Year and try to imagine in our "minds' eye" what the year will really bring!  Did we all make New Year resolutions?  Not me!  Why, you ask?  Well, although there are things that I can surely improve on, some things don't always go as planned, I must allow for the hiccups that come along, do the best I can, and, be happy for the accomplishments I make.  Along the way, I will strive to touch the people I meet, and, with fondness, I will recognize the people who have touched my life!

The holiday season in 2017 was a busy one for me!  I was such a worry-wort...didn't think I could get everything done in time for Santa Claus, who, by the way kept a loving eye on me!  
Thank You, Santa!

Among the busy, albeit fun activities, was the wonderful Christmas program at Scootie's school!  The performances and songs were the best!

New Year's Eve came and went in a flash, didn't it!  I got my Black-eyed Peas ready in plenty of time for the festivities on our local TV stations, but, I didn't have time to take many photos.
I followed one of Paula Deen's recipes for Black-eyed Peas and they rocked!

Now, it is time to march on, and experience a New Year of "business to take care of", "unpredictable weather", and, yes..let's have some "FUN IN 2018"!!!
