I began a daily Bible study and read online with Christy Jordan, author of Seeking Scripture. We started on January 1, reading Genesis, and will end in December with Revelation. 

I took several day trips this year, including a couple of trips.


In January, I visited several covered bridges in South Alabama: the Easley Bridge, the Swann Bridge, the Horton Mill Covered Bridge, and Noccalula Falls in Gadsden.

In March, we took a day trip to Oak Mountain State Park to visit the museum and see rescued birds of prey.

Well, we finally settled into our new home, with limestone gravel all around, a concrete drive, a garage, and a deck on the side and back of the house. 

We celebrated Labor Day with two pots of chicken stew, sharing it with the kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids. 

We celebrated Thanksgiving with a variety of dishes, including turkey, ham, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, blackberry cobbler, cranberry sauce, Butterfinger cake, and dressing. 

We are planning a big Christmas, and I don't know what we are serving yet, but it will be good. 

I'm so glad we sold the RV and moved into something bigger. Now I can entertain at my house instead of taking everything somewhere else. 

I have my Christmas tree, decorations everywhere, a couple of poinsettias on the table, and the bar ready for Christmas. 

2021 ends with lots of good memories 

2022 may be even better.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
