The End Of Another Year

 I know I've said this before, but WOW how time flies.  I think this is the fastest year I've ever spent.  Are you sure we aren't spinning around the sun faster and faster?  Every day I see a date written down, I think "how could I possibly have lived this long".  I remember writing 1985 and 1994 ... and since we got into the 2020's, I have to think two or three times about which number to write down.

It's been a fabulous year.  I mean really, any year we are still here enjoying family and friends, it's an awesome year.  I'm pretty sure this blog and this KID had a lot to do with that for me.  

In case you were wondering, this is where Jon lives.  It's not the most convenient spot, but he likes being close.  If I can figure out where to put my case of water and my big camera bag, I could turn the front seat around and he could live there.  Jon will be having a birthday in this new year ... 50 YEARS.  Can you imagine???  A bird living 50 years.  It must be all that good care his maid gives him.

Speaking of good care, when Mr. Chance went to the store yesterday, he brought home a nice big fat Costco chicken for Mr. Cooper, who snubbed it 100%.  What the heck?  He LOVES that chicken.  Hopefully he's hungrier this morning, because now I've got a lot of it to get rid of.

A quick recap of my year .. became 5th year trustee and thus a slave to the Elks Lodge (just kidding), had a fabulous year of no electric bills thanks to my stinginess and solar panels,  had an amazing time with friends at Tucson, Yuma and Quartzsite, sold my fifth wheel, bought a van, and am proceeding to have yet ANOTHER amazing time with my friends at Tucson, Yuma and Quartzsite.

Oh and of course had a GREAT time at the Magic Castle of Bingo, since it is after all, all about friends, even if they wield pitchforks and flaming torches.

The only sad part about this coming year is my baby boy is now 15 years old.  He has slowed down a bit and has eyesight problems, but Mom the maid will be his seeing eye dog if he needs it.  How could you turn down that face!!

And so the sun sets on another year.  Thank you one and all for reading my sometimes crazy, sometimes boring blog.  I appreciate each and every one for keeping me occupied, even if the pictures are sometimes (okay, lots of times) terrible.  Most importantly, thank you for all the advice you've given me about RV'ing, my truck, my house plumbing ... all of it.  I couldn't do it without you!!

And so it is THE END OF ANOTHER YEAR and more adventures await.
