Any thoughts for the new year?

qualitygal — Sun, 19 Dec 2021 21:22:03 GMT

Not rushing time, just thinking about which puzzle I will do, (got some new puzzles) awhile back. Once we tuck this years decorations away for another 11 mos. I'll set up the card table and get to it.

I can watch the s,,, from the windows. LOL

You have any fun things coming up this year you want to do?

@qualitygal So nice to hear from a fellow puzzler! Couldn't imagine my life without them! 1000 piece ones are my favorite. I just finished the snowman and have just started this new one.

I'll be masking up for a visit to the town hall on November 8th.

I'm moving on January 4th and then putting our house up for sale. That's enough excitement for me. It's overwhelming.

Overwhelming, @gidgetgh, but exciting,too. I hope the move goes smoothly and your house sells quickly!

I really, really, really, really enjoy knitting and crocheting.

So - more of that is always on the agenda. I have several yarn orders pending. I know the yarn I want - just have to figure out quantities, and I can't do that until I decide on what to make with it!

Two friends from church and I got together just before Thanksgiving. We knew each other from our activities at church, but not on a personal level. It was great fun and found that out backgrounds had much in common.

We are talking about continuing that on a monthly basis after the holidays ... and inviting several other women to join us - friendship and fellowship. We have the perfect restaurant to meet.

My husband has staggering towers of 1000-piece puzzles. He always says he will redo one but he hardly ever does. I am going to impose a buy one/donate three rule. 😏

We added another leaf to our big farm table so I can do a puzzle on one end and still keep my Valerie Parr Hill centerpiece on it. I know the puzzle brand is Vermont Christmas Company and the title is "Christmas Cheer".

As far as the New Year, I think we'll be masked and told yet another booster is needed. My prayers are for good health for all.

Nothing new in the horizon, but hoping for a variant free new year!

Until last year, we have always gone out for a nice dinner & played card's with friends, came home and got into the hot tub with a wine cooler. Thing's are different this year. My bf from HS, lost her dh in May and it's not safe to go to our favorite restaurant, so we will get a carry out dinner & hot tub at Midnight with a wine cooler. It might be cold and snowy, but that's 1/2 the fun.

We normally order in and watch the ball drop on TV.

This year we have our nieces wedding in San Antonio. Excited and we are being extra careful due to the variant.

We are all vaccinated and also have our boosters. We know it’s not 100% but we will be careful.

We are arriving on the 30th and leaving on the 4th

I might make another Bucket List Road Trip. I like to amaze myself 😊

Rumor is they may offer some early out retirements next year but I'd like to move before I decide.

Hopefully a better one than the last 2 for me personally.

Amen! For us all, I'd say!

Near the end of 2020 I was so sure 2021 was going to be an improvement, lol. At this point I'm taking a day at a time and employing a wait and see kind of attitude.

Would love to still do puzzles, but my vision is no longer good enough to enjoy them. Have switched to puzzles and games on iPad where I can expand the font. Am looking forward to 2022 with many plans including getting our house updated and downsizing. We are fully vaccinated and will still do whatever we think is prudent and safe while still living our lives!

Look forward to waking up another day, and still being able to do the things I love. Thinking how happy I am to have a loving wife/pretty good health, and very good mental and physical fitness.

Throw in our 4 furry kids? Pretty good thoughts and activities in my book for the upcoming year.
