Happy New Year!!!

I was in bed way before midnight.  The weather radio went off twice in the night.  Once for a severe thunderstorm and once for a flood warning.  It's still in the high 50's and raining so I don't think the cold front came through yet.  There are no warnings out now so we're good.  Northerners are going to get a big snowstorm and my family in Iowa are very excited!  I wish I could be there as we all love snow!

I got a BIG, I mean HUGE surprise delivered to me via FedEx yesterday...........I was in shock and so happy!  My daughter and I had been talking and I told her I didn't have much left on my bucket list as I've scrapped all travel plans.  I am now a fully-fledged homebody!  But the next 3 things on my list were learning to play the piano, learning a language (probably Spanish), and getting a train...as in model train.  I've wanted a train ever since I was a child.  So...mark the piano off my list!  My grandsons put some of their own money towards it too!  I'm still in shock but so excited to start learning.  There are some good online courses out there.  If anyone has any recommendations  please let me know.  I put it together this morning and I'm so glad it came yesterday while the weather was nice otherwise it would be soaked!  I have some stuff to do today but as soon as possible I will be signing up for lessons! I am SO excited!  Thank you Iowa gang!

 Let's start the New Year out with a little humor..........

I hope you had a good New Year's Eve and that all your dreams come true in 2022!

 Happy Trails!!!
