Reading goals for the year 

Now that I am retired I've started to read more and more and really enjoying the quiet time!  In 2021 I know I read tons of books! 

I've started a new series by an author named Rachel Hanna and I'm enjoying it so far, they are very quick reads and I love being able to follow the same characters over the course of several books! 

 

2022

 Well those best laid plans don't always work out the way you think!  I started off 2021 hoping to blog more but I just logged on and noticed I never posted another blog entry last year at all so I'm not going to sit here and type out that I'm going to blog in 2022!!  I have continued to journal as much as possible however so that was a positive for last year!

The coronavirus pandemic is still very much affecting us over 2 years later!! The current variant called Omicron is so contagious that here where I live 1 in every 4 people tests positive for it!! 25% rate of positivity is crazy!!!  I am staying home more and not exposing myself! 

I have started meal planning so that I can shop once and have meals for an entire week plus some days of leftovers!!  Tonight we are having turkey chili. I will freeze some and then we will have chili hot dogs later in the week.  

The start of 2021

 Every year I say I will post more on my blog and keep up to date with my journal, at least in 2020 I kept up with one of those!  I started to journal in 2020 and added photos to my paper journal with my HP sprocket and I have kept up with it for the most part and I'm proud of that.  I'm hoping to again post a little more on here this year as I will be trying to craft a little more and read more books I want to keep track of all of that on here.  :) 

December 2020

 As the new year approaches we continue to battle this pandemic and I am grateful to still be healthy as well as everyone in our family,

This virus isn't going away....

We are at nearly 3 million cases worldwide now and over 200,000 deaths!  This is something I haven't seen in my lifetime and I just wish for it to go away but I know that until there is a known and proven vaccine this is the world we live in right now.  We continue to try to stay home and practice social distancing.

Covid-19

2020 began like any other year but as I write this now into the beginning of April we are mostly confined to our home as this horrible virus spreads across the country and the world.  I have been journaling as much as I can to keep these memories alive but I wanted to jot something down here on my blog as well.  Jim and I continue to be safe in our home and we have all that we need to get through a month if need be.

2020 Another new Year

This coming year will be another busy one for me travel wise!!  I'll try to update!
