Wishing everyone a safe holiday...Happy New Year...We have snow, but not enough; been getting warmer weather and it's been melting.  Thus the beautiful spring flower photo; in the rain.  2016 was not the best year for our family.  Drove to Utah in March and ended up with the flu; first time for everything, right?  Motorcycle trip got rained on. Wet and very cold stop at a motel and only stayed long enough to dry out...guess we should have rented by the hour (HAHAHA)?  Trip to the U.P. in August got cut short when a fall off the motorcycle loading ramp ended up with torn shoulder ligaments.  Clavacle bone sticking up sure does ruin the lines of a well fitting shirt.

Though my granddaughter is expecting their first child (it's a boy) in April, 2017, so we will be Great Grand Parents.  My Mother never got the chance to be a Great Grand Parent, though my Father did.  Friend of mine (who had 'adopted' me when we started working together in the 90's) died in October.  Things change all the time; I guess that's a good thing, but ...  I usually do not write much here, but been reading some stuff and thought I'd share a bit. 

Election was a bummer here; I thought Michigan was smarter than that; Hubs is furious all the time; I had to stop following some political information sites because they made him angrier.  He worries alot about all sorts of things.

Been walking a bit trying to get more exercise in our life; though I get outside and walk every day, now Hubs is joining me.  That's a good thing.  Tried painting for a while; lots of canvases on the walls.    Put photos on the walls also.  Boy was I ambitious occasionally.

Eating too much; Lots of vegetables in the summer, and lots of protein in the winter. 

Hope you have a great 2017.  I'll post occasionally; keep watching.

  2. The image of your clavicle bone sticking out made me cringe a bit. My shoulder pops out of place every now and again and it hurts like a bastard... it looks pretty strange too.

    I hope you are all recovered from the flu and such.

    May 2017 be glorious.

    2. We have been well since March when the flu struck. And the bone incident will be a forever thing. The doctors said that as long as he didn't care if it stuck up, it would be fine, but they could repair it if he wanted.

    3. Sometimes I come here just to look around and go to blogs which I have not read for a while. I have so many photos which have not been up here and I wish I was more motivated, but sitting here with Hubs sometimes leaves me just sitting here...

  3. We will be Great Grandparents this year too, but we don't know if it is a boy or a girl...yet. I heard they will have a gender reveal party. It make me feel OLD!
    Good to see you blog again! :)
