I love that the person who could only make five things 25 years ago is long gone. Yes, that was me – five things and one of those was Hamburger Helper. My goal is to add 30 new recipes to the recipe database in 2022.
Laura completed another requirement, the five-mile hike, for the Second Class rank in Scouts. I am really proud of her for how hard she is working to achieve each rank.
A new year always begins for me when I close out the previous year on this blog. The last post for 2021 has been written and the 2022 categories have been created.
I have completed 4,006 posts since I began this journey on January 13, 2011, and it has been quite a ride. This blog has given me 6,472 photos in those 4,006 posts and each photo tells a story.
We spent this evening in Byron visiting Uncle Art and Aunt Tammy. We also got to see a couple of my cousins, Kristin and Natalie. It was a great night of catching up with family that we had not seen since Mom passed away. We all agreed that we need to make a trip up there this summer for time in the pool.
On a side note, we also picked up a wooden clarinet from Art and Tammy. Assuming that Jerry’s Instrument Shop can get it cleaned up and make any needed repairs, Laura will have a real concert clarinet. She was so excited and in awe that the clarinet is 65 to 70 years old. Here is to hoping that Jerry’s can work some magic!
