Happy 2022!

Happy New Year everyone! We wish you only the very best as we enter a brand new year. May it be filled with good health and love!

This past week was nice and very quiet. We really didn't much other than a few walks here and there. We decided to take a fitness break for the holiday season and give our bodies a rest. We resume our fitness tomorrow. Last Friday, Russell looked at the calendar and said "Barbados is in 100 days". The countdown has begun, time to get the beach bods in shape 🏖

New Year's Eve came and went...as much as we tried to stay up until midnight, we gave in. There wasn't much that we liked on TV. New Year's Day was nice and I cooked a 20 pound turkey. I bought it last October, which is a good thing as large turkeys were hard to find this year. It was probably the most delicious turkey I've ever cooked.....we say that all the time but this one was extra moist. We ate in the dining room...very fancy 😂. Russell set up his camera on the tripod and kept clicking away during dinner. Some photos are goofy, that's what we wanted. I also noticed that little Spicy is partially hidden by the candle...should have moved it. Nice memories of a lovely New Year's Day.

As I'm writing this blog, I'm looking around and it's as if Christmas never happened. This morning, I put away all decorations, tucked away for another year. I also made a stock with the turkey bones. It simmered for hours while we were cleaning up the house. It will make for some good soup in the next few days.

We woke up to some snow, very light and fluffy. It's pretty outside.

That wraps up my first blog of 2022. Russell and the pooches are napping. I will now watch a few episodes of Bosch on Prime, really enjoying this police procedural series. Have a great week everyone!
