we had a nice christmas and a quiet new year. tony and thuy prepared a delicious dinner. the girls seemed to like all their presents and jessica was here from oregon and thuys father from las vegas. no matter how small your family is it’s nice to be together. christmas cards are not sent as much now, but i still love sending and receiving them.
i hope you all are having a happy new year so far. does anyone make resolutions anymore? i did but extended it until the chinese new year, (hannahs idea). the year of the pig starts this tuesday. the year of the pig? how can i cut down on beer in the year of the pig? i am working on it and jerry has quit all together.
we’re going to have a very quiet travel year in 2019. we do have plans to go to reno in june. as many times as we have been there, it’s never been during the rodeo. so this time we are going especially when the rodeo is there. as much as i love horses, i’m really looking forward it. of course i’m looking forward to seeing ted (my brother) also. we don’t have plans for anything else——-yet.
we don’t have to go out in the rain, so these last storms have been nice for us. watching them from our windows. i know many people suffer greatly with large amounts of damage to their homes. and lives are lost to traffic accidents. the weather is changing dramatically these days. be safe out there.
of course the weather brings us beautiful clouds. can’t get enough of those.
“off we go, into the wild blue yonder”
looking towards signal hill
california clouds
the walking path in signal hill
looking towards the mountains. what a view these houses have
you can see the mountains in this picture
and when we got home
the clouds were all around us
i really feel grateful for everything in my life right now. i love all of you cheering me on for something i love to do. even though we won’t have travel pictures to show you, i’d love to keep the blog going with things i find interesting. hope you find them interesting too.
happy new year
stay tuned
love, jilly
