It's been a busy year for company. About a week after Karen left my brother and his family drove in for a visit. Then Lucas and his family show up a couple of days later. It was so nice to have all - or most of my family all together again and for me to be able to spend time with my grandbaby, Little Luke...
In July a childhood friend came to visit from Portland, Oregon.
It was a pleasant, but very busy visit. Karen has a lot of energy and she wanted to make the most of her vacation so she kept us moving.
We went Kayaking. My first time ever and I was hooked....
Last year I made a decision to end blogging my family life in a journal. Since then, I have decided that I really miss looking back on our daily life and that we indeed still have so many moments that need to be captured.
So here I go again for nothing more than my own account of our life goings on, mostly in pictures.
Last May me and Skye decided to take a girls only vacay to Corpus Christi. It turned out to be one of the most pleasurable experiences we've had together, ever.
We stayed on the bay and I have to say that the most enjoyable part was not having to worry about waiting around on Toby to poop ten times before we could leave the room, or having to walk Bo before we did anything. In a nutshell, it was nice not having the guys hold us back. We ate where we wanted to, planned what we wanted to do, and didn't have to rush.
A lot of sail boats to watch....
We've decided we're going to have a girls trip every year.
Most people have viewed and experienced the 2020 pandemic as traumatic - understandably so in many cases.
For myself, aside from the little annoyances of the pandemic like finding toilet paper and dealing with that ridiculous mask, I've had the best year I've had in a few years.
My first little grandbaby, Luke came into the world in February of 2020 and in January of 2020 we bought our "forever home" close to the trails where I always dreamed of being.
The year has been good to us. We've all remained healthy, despite the fact that we've been leading our lives as sane, normal people the whole year...eating in restaurants, going shopping, traveling out of town, visiting with family, etc.
All that said, I have decided to end my blog posts. Since we have moved I keep myself a lot busier with life and don't really have much time anymore for detailed posts about our lives...not that I think anyone even reads my blog anymore, but for those who have been interested enough in my life and it's goings on through the last decade or so, I will keep my blog open, you just won't see any more posts.
I have been uploading my photos onto Instagram though, so if you'd like to follow along in pics, here is my Instagram link.
I hope everyone has a wonderful new year.
Peace Out,
Laura
