Oh, that´s hot! We had freezing temps before Christmas, on Christmas Eve it got warmer with 10C, now -1 or 2 and a bit of snow. Enjoy the holidays everyone!

We got snow this morning, 3 inches as of this moment and still snowing- just a day late :)
Once again, I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and has a Happy New Year

UGH!
Sorry I missed wishing everyone a merry Christmas. At least I made it for New Years.Happy New Year everyone.
Hopefully 2022 will be a better year than 2021.
2021 has not been kind to a lot of us. Surely it can only get better from here!
Love to you all,
Terri

Happy new year.... Hopefully.
My remark: Why? was my response to getting “smashed”. I do wish everyone a very happy new year and good tidings to all. 😊
Just read this article re: archaeological dig at an extensive Roman site in England. Thought I’d share…village. https://wapo.st/3qj2SLM
Sorry I haven't been around. I've been putting the finishing touches on an anthology. My publisher has accepted it and I now have some breathing space to frolic on here.
Congratulations Margaret! and thanks May for the link about the dig! I´d heard about it in the news.

It was a happy new year at our place. :-) lots of rain, beautiful green grass everywhere. But then north of us *gulp* serious floods, loss of life. Not good. They are in recovery now while in our area ten minutes away, it's paradise. Yin and yang.
Terri, so glad you had a lovely New Year. Nice way to start 2022. Gives one hope. Sorry about your neighbors.

Been gone a while.I guess I’m a rarity…I had a pretty good 2021! New grandson, new home in Hawaii, stayed in good health and completely retired. But I’m ready for another awesome year with 2022. Happy New Year to all.

Congratulations on the new grandkiddy, Bobby! That's great news.I didn't realise you had moved to Hawaii? Or did you buy a second home there?

Second home fir now. We rent it out by the month and use it 3-4 times a year. Right on the beach in Honolulu….Kahala area by Diamond Head.
Has anyone read Hector Miller's Scythian? The reviews run the gamut from glowing praise to book bashing. I was considering whether or not I should bother buying it.
I am currently reading FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE by Geraldine Brooks. I have always enjoyed her novels. Her CALEB’S CROSSING remains a long time favorite. However, I never paid attention to her personal story. Had no idea she was Australian!! Shame on me. Apologies to my Friends Down Under! 😏
