The One With 2026

 

 

 

 

Today is the first day of 2026....who knows what it will have in store, but I am hoping it is amazing.

 We actually took down our tree today (which is a little early for us). We all seem to have developed an allergy to it, and Emmie was totally wiped out by it. She needed some antibiotics for her sinuses.

We did have a dusting of snow overnight, which was nice. Emmie and I watched Family Plan 2 and From Russia With Love to ring in the new year....though she felt lousy. She just took off to go see the final episode of STRANGER THINGS in the movies with Kiff, Adrian, and Adrian's mother

Here is wishing everyone an amazing 2026. 

 

 

The One Where Bri Drives

 

It is not common to start a New Year with a Bang. But, yesterday we did exactly that. While we started the day with some blueberry pancakes and took down the tree, the latter part of the day saw us walking in Wakefield.

 

On our way home, Emmie turned to me and said that we should go to a local parking lot. When I asked why, she suggested it would be great to have Bri practice driving....which made sense. She will be taking Driver's Ed classes soon.

 

So we went to the local parking lot and gave Bri the change to drive for the first time. And, she did a great job. She drove forward, turned, and even parked. And, she also came back to pick me up. 

 

What a unique way to start the new year.

The One With The Happy New Year

 

 

Today is the first day of 2022. And, we rang it in quite nicely. Here is how we got our new year off to a start...

1. We had a nice breakfast of oatmeal.

2. Emmie and I exchanged gifts.

3. Emmie and I did some housework. I fixed the game table, installed the radio in kitchen, fixed the sign on side door, and fixed table. Loved the new radio - I can pair it with my phone to play XM radion. We had holiday traditions on.

4. Bri and Kiff put on a Christmas concert for us.

5. We went out for Chinese food in honor of their great concert.

6. We watched Trapped in Paradise (Emmie likes the message in the movie).

7. We opened some more gifts.

8. We are watching Beast for 10,000 fathoms on Svengoolie. What a good way to start the year.
