Hello! And welcome to the new year! Whether out on the town or cozy at home, I hope you all had a nice New Year's celebration. We spent New Year's at the condo, and it was cozy and fun. I woke up New Year's Eve morning to this.
And New Year's Eve found me like this.
That's me. Showered, and all ready for the big night! Kyrstin made a delicious dinner, and then we sat around, visited, and watched the ball drop before I headed to bed for a few more episodes of The Twilight Zone. The remainder of the week, we spent at the condo, celebrated Marty's first birthday, watched movies, cooked pork and sauerkraut for New Year's, and swam in the indoor pool.
And now we begin a new year. I pray it brings us all peace in our minds, contentment in our lives, and joy in our hearts. While I don't make resolutions, I plan on continuing to strive for simplicity and calm. And hot coffee in the mornings, cozy naps in the afternoon, and good books in the evening.
Have a lovely weekend, my friends!
Billie Jo
Google for the fun images.
I think simple and calm is the perfect aim for the new year. I am hoping for the same!

ReplyDeleteYou are so adorable in these photos! And I think your hair looks great even just out of the shower!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Billie Jo! Those pictures of Flynn looks like she's hugging a little teddy bear. The dog is so cute. The first Jaws is a classic, and one that I will always enjoy. And a pretty photo of the sunrise on New Year's Eve. I hope the new year brings much goodness in your life, my friend. And I always love those vintage photos you share. They make my heart smile. : )

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Billie Jo! Xx
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Billie Jo! Hoping 2025 is a good one for you!
ReplyDeleteStriving for simplicity and calm is a real good idea. I think I'll do that, too.
ReplyDeleteI want to tell you, BillieJo, that I admire your blog design. I see that you use Simple Theme, as I do. Your blog title in the header is a pleasant font and it is large enough to go from one margin to the other, which displays well.
I enlarge my font but you make yours even bigger, making it so easy to read. (I wish all bloggers did that). Your column on the right is wide enough to attractively show off your photos and other gadgets. It's just a very attractive, readable blog.
Happy New Year!
