Happy New Year!!

 Wow! Are we really in 2022? 

Simply unbelievable but truly what a great year 2021 was. 

Although COVID is still around we managed to stay healthy and enjoy what life has to offer and boy did it provide.

We welcomed a baby granddaughter Madeline on December 17 who made a perfect entrance into this world and gave us all an early Christmas present.

With a mountain pass between us and the crazy winter weather we're having we had to wait two weeks before seeing her.

Two weeks! My grandmother heart was going crazy but finally we had a break in the weather and we were able to make the drive to spend a few hours loving on this little sweetie.

The husband and I are absolutely smitten with her as she has captured our hearts and locked us in forever. It's amazing how something so small can make such a big impact on your life.

I love seeing this big burly son of ours spellbound by a tiny little girl.

I'm grateful for the time we had with them even if it was for just a few hours, once we returned home the very next day the mountain pass closed due to poor visibility and dangerous driving conditions. 

The husband and I had a quiet Christmas. We took the horses and dogs for a chilly ride through a canyon, watched Christmas movies and ate leftovers from the dinner we shared with my in laws on Christmas Eve.

I couldn't resist dressing up my Dixie girl for a Christmas photoshoot. She's so patient with me and always willing to oblige.

I can't say enough for the technology FaceTime allows for us to connect with family when we can't be together. 
Our younger son and his family were going to ring in the new year with us but the winter weather prevented it from happening and they couldn't make the drive. 
They too have a mountain pass between us but
with FaceTime, it's the next best thing to being there.

Miss Elsie entertained me with her big balloon and a mini piano recital. She's a toddler now, soon to be a big sister. Her parents are expecting another baby in April.

We are also going to be welcoming another member of the family after winter winds down as this big fella is in Arizona right now and we don't want to bring him home until things warm up or he will freeze his Friesian patootie off.

I'm so thankful and humbled for the blessing received and looking forward and ready to embrace the New Year.

Your heart must be full to the brim, beautiful horses, beautiful dogs, a beautiful new baby, and a handsome husband,beautiful Miss Elsie, (oh my goodness, she really has grown), and another grandbaby on the way.

I'm glad that you finally got to see the new little baby girl. Just too precious for words.

Happy New Year.

So proud of your blog, I have been out of touch for a while with so much going on in my life and I was lost because of my illness but I'm stronger and I am here to tell you about a natural remedy that is guaranteed to make you wonder why your doctor didn't tell you about it. Then, on the other hand, it is pretty obvious why your doctor didn't, because that's not his job, is it? But, seriously, promise me you won't get too angry with your health practitioner, it's really not their fault. They can only practice what they're told to practice, right? When your health is at risk there's no time for Tom foolery, you've got to get down to the cause and nip it in the bud. So you've been suffering from painful gout attacks have you? Well, allow me to give you a new perspective on the solution to what plagues you I was once in your shoe until my college friend introduce me to Dr Itua herbal center which cure my hiv/herpes,Lymphedema, after drinking it for two weeks as instructed, Dr Itua is an africa herbal doctor who has natural power to cure all human illness diseases I believe Dr Itua so much because he help me cure my hiv/ herpes which has being my burden in life so I promised Dr Itua that I will testify about his work online after curing me and that is what I'm doing here so please if you are sick from those diseases do not hesitate to write Dr Itua Herbal Center On Email: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Or chat with him on his online store www.drituaherbalcenter.com
