Lady Traveler's "What Now?" series

"What Now?"

Our backyaRd at sunset

Happy New YeaR!

I don't make new year Resolutions

but I have ideas of what I want to achieve.

If you don't believe me,

check out my December 2015 blog.

My woRd for 2019 is

"SIMPLIFY"

As you know, Rob and I recently downsized from our home

to a cozy condo on Lake Murray

that forced me into the SIMPLIFY mode.

Now that we've been at the Lazy Leaf Lake House for almost two months,

guess what?

I'm still SIMPLIFYING.

I'm blogging a "What Now?" series for a great website

www.retirementandgoodliving.com

This website is packed with useful information for people of ALL ages
but focuses on those who are retiRED and who are thinking about retiRing.
PouR a cup of FolgeRs and read some of my personal and helpful simplify tips.

This beautiful plate was a gift from my longtime friend Shirley L. many years ago.
I'm SO glad I didn't donate or toss it.

Until next time,
I wish you tidy drawers, clean closets and oceans of New Years blessings!

He gives power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increases strength.
Isaiah 40:29

Lady Traveler's Cozy Christmas

Lady Traveler's Cozy Christmas
The most wonderful time of the year!

Unto us a child is given,
A Saviour, Christ the Lord
(my 40-year-old nativity under the tree)

Rob and I are loving our cozy condo on Lake Murray.

Each evening we sit by the fire, admiring our Christmas decorations.

(yes, I had enough energy to decorate.  I can't help myself)

As we sit, we count our blessings.

We are blessed with four wonderful grown kids.

We still call them 'our kids.

Four on-the-go grown grandkids.

Three fast-growing great-grandboys.

Our sweet Popcorn.

And our fabulous friends.

For our age, we are quite healthy.

We keep active, almost too active ...
... not at the local gym, yet ...
just active with every-day chores.

But we do try to take time for our little afternoon siestas.

I'm keeping this blog short,
but I'm including a recent blog I was invited to write at:
www.retirementandgoodliving.com
(my blog "What Now?" can be found under 'blog')

Our cozy villa says, "WELCOME!"

Christmas Eve by the fire -- food, fun, and opening gifts.

The GLITS* gals

Me.  Grand Destinee.  Daughter Jacquie

We're already talking about hitting the road!

Until next year,

I wish you oceans of Christmas and New Year blessings!

For there is born to you this day in the city of David 
a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:11
