Resolutions

Do you make them for each new year and then just break them?  Human nature.  Instead why not try to make this day be better than the last one?  That way you're always striving to improve your life.


Be at War with your Vices, at Peace with your Neighbours, and let every New-Year find you a better Man. ~Quoted in Benjamin Franklin's 1755 Poor Richard's Almanack

The first day of this new year was a lazy one.  Clouds and cooler temperatures kept us indoors. I did go for a wee walk. Not sure Jim went outside (he did!  needed a cider from the mini fridge) and he took two naps.  Can’t get any lazier than that!

I did a couple loads of laundry, made the bed and set out our lunch.  We chose shrimp cocktail and smoked salmon for our midday meal.  We picked both up at Costco on New Years Eve. Crackers, olives, sliced cucumbers, and radishes rounded out the meal.

My tomato on Christmas Day.  Still waiting for it to ripen.  But we’ve had more cooler days than warm ones.  There are other tomatoes on the plant.  It will be interesting to see how big they get. 

Not sure what we watched on TV.  I turned on the parade for the last hour. Jim tried to watch a movie but the WiFi cut out on him .  Oh and I seem to recall a lot of car shows.  Discovered that one is filmed right up the road in Johnson City.  Jim turns on car show and just lets them continue until he gets tired of them or I complain that I've had enough.

All is right in our world
