Sixth Day of Christmas

Happy 6th Day of Christmas and New Year's Eve! Another year went so fast although I think each year goes as fast it's just the older we get seems time goes faster.

In one of my online groups we lost a member in July, Jean. Our neighbor had a baby girl in July and two online member had new great grandkids (May & July) what a precious gift for them all.

Our oldest granddaughter turned 14 this year and has a boyfriend!! and the youngest turned 8th.

We celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary with a day trip to have lunch in Eastern Washington with my sister, great weather. 

Celebrated my 59th birthday all day starting with breakfast with my sister and then with my adopted family.

  

I continue to give cards to the heroes in my city. I started during pandemic when the some of the people I follow were saying to give cards to store clerks, nurses & doctors that were out during the shut down well I wasn't leaving the house and the only people I could see that were out the front line were the cops in my city there have been different cops over time. Since we are a small city easy to continue given them cards.
