Happy 2022

 Here’s hoping for a New Year that is dedicated to the Lord, where we put Him first, and we concentrate on the blessings of family. 


We were pretty low key here.  I love being in central time so we can ring in the new year at 11 instead!  I can make it till then ha ha!  


New Year’s Day we went to Captain Porky’s for a traditional southern meal - my VERY favorite meal of the whole year - cornbread, collards, black eyed peas - yum!!!  Captain Porky’s is so good, too.  


We also got about 5 inches of snow Saturday.  



AND we are getting a new puppy!  A Weimaraner!  We had one when we first got married, literally the first week of our marriage!  Our beloved Allie.  She had to be put to sleep in 2014.  It’s taken us a long time to feel like we could get another one.  We are picking a blue male.  This little love was born December 13th.  He’s up in Wisconsin.  We will probably be able to get him the beginning to middle of February.  We are SO excited!!!  


He’s the top right.  :).
