A lovely post, Jane. You write such interesting anecdotes. Sounds like Christmas was a blast that went on for days. Ours was busy, too, and I had a quiet day doing very little today. So glad that your back is much better since your surgery. Have a wonderful start to 2019.

hugs,
Lorrie

I'm down to blogging once or twice a week and it's all good. Write when you have something to say and we will read. I will never give up blogging for Instagram, because I need to write all the words, but quality over quantity is the way to go. P.S. I'm considering contacting my local Florida newspaper about writing something based on my blog for all the empty nesters and retirees here. You have inspired me!

Blogging was the 'shiny new thing' back in 2011. Now it's vlogging and YouTube (which I LOVE). I wrote Beach Bungalow back then and it was so much fun! Many of the bloggers from that time are no longer writing but a few still remain.
I enjoyed this post, Jane.
Happy New Year!

You covered all the bases. ☺️ I am glad that you have realized your dream of writing professionally. That is huge. So glad that we all like different things. The world is very dull otherwise. You have a beautiful family! (Don’t spend too much time fretting over what could happen in the new year. One thing is certain: plenty will.) Happy 2019!

Jane dear - loved catching with all the news of your ever growing family, but most of all am thrilled your back is so much better now and that you can resume exercise. . . . . . . and of course, shopping, haha! Good luck with the wedding prep - that can be time-consuming and hair raising I'm sure - but you've had practice and seem to be so good at it all.

Good luck for the coming year regarding your writing/publishing - and of course wishing A all the luck in the world for a healthy, happy retirement. . . . . . .hope to see you in 2019 somewhere on the planet!

Happy New Year from us both XX

Beautiful Blondie, I have not gotten enough time to read all of the 17 posts you did this year. I always love your writings. I enjoyed seeing all the wonderful pictures of your family...especially those sweet little ones. I know you must be having lots of fun times with them. Since, Ted has been sick, I am not blogging as much. Once in awhile I get enough time to visit a few blog friends. I want to wish you and yours the best New Year ever. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie

How lovely to see a post from you. Your Christmas sounds wonderful, and you've got some beautiful photos there. You've been doing so well with your writing for the paper, so don't worry about the blogging, so long as you are headed in the direction you want, that's really good. I need to do some yoga or something physical I think. I'm interested to hear about your programme, and so glad that you're able to do it after your back surgery, that's brilliant news. I'm wishing you and yours every happiness for 2019. CJ xx

I love your Christmas tree, very sweet and of course Miss Mad picture, adorable:). That's what Christmas is all about, faith, family and food.
I'm happy your back is feeling much better.
The New Year will bring a wedding and a retirement, new beginnings:).

Sounds like you had a very busy but fun Christmas. Family is what it is all about. I cannot believe how big Mady has gotten. Such a cutie. Wishing lots of good health, happiness and finding joy in your writing for the new year.

It is always like a visit with a dear old friend when I see your post pop up in my email. If Madelyn gets any cuter I can't stand it! About that egg casserole: try Southern Living 's website with "breakfast casserole" and see if anything pops up. Maybe a different recipe is in order.
You just told me something I didn't know: that Amazon Prime has workout videos! I plan to look (tomorrow). I dearly loved The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and hate that I have to wait a whole year for more! Look at "Derry Girls" for a feel-good series. It is not very long and ends on sort of a downer, but maybe it will come back again. (Either Netflix or Amazon, I forget)
I am trying to keep up with exercise since my physical therapy sessions ended. Doing pretty well, but sometimes I forget I am not 21 anymore. ��

Maddy is so precious, she could definitely be a child model. She also seems to have the personality for it which is super important.

LOVE Mrs. Maizel. I watched the entire last season recently and I think it was the best one yet.

Happy New Year Jane!

I have said it before.
Reading your posts, whether once a week or two, three, four
is like sitting in a room with you, having a grand conversation.
Oh I like IG but a written post is much more personal, intimate . . .
Keep on, I love following.

Your tree is inspiring . . .
As I close the door on 2018, I find myself
filled to the brim with ideas for
something different for next year.
Such a personality your tree has ...
Love, love it.
Thank you, thank you . ..
I would save that tree, let the needles fall
and save it for next year.
Now that would be really different.

Happy heart as you open the days of 2019 . . .
It is going to be an exceptional year!

What fun little Maddie must be ...
So adorable . . .

I am happy to see you whenever you post:) It looks like you all had a wonderful time together, lots of fun family time. I love your tree, mine is still up too and I am not in a hurry to take it down. I enjoy the glow of the lights! Have a blessed day dear friend, Happy New Year. I pray it is a great one for all of us! HUGS!

You said Laurie Colwin, so I'm in. If Ann Hood is like Laurie C., I love her already.

Your holiday looks beautiful, filled with fun. Wish we had more to do games with! And your family is lovely, the home so warm and inviting. Like you, I'm in no rush to take it down; I'll leave my stuff up till Twelfth Night (maybe get a small neighbor gathering in there this week!) and then still probably leave up two winter trees that aren't big but bring in that light. I love colored lights. I have some trees with white and it's ok for a chance but the colors are the best for me!

I don't think I want to go back to the gym but I have to do something so I think it will be back to Richard Simmons for me! I have a funny story about that but I'll have to blog about it -- too long for a comment! Cheers and a lovely new year!

Happy New Year, Jane! It's always fun catching up. The year has a way of taking us down paths we never saw coming, some good, some not...so I love the "just do our best" mindset. After all, that's all we'd expect of others, I don't know why it's so hard to accept when it comes to ourselves. I need to exercise, too. Thanks for the tips and Miss Mad is adorable! Super sweet...enjoy her!

Your family Christmas sounds busy but oh so fun. I love all the photos of Madelyn but the first one is priceless. You can certainly tell that she was happy and surprised with the gift she was opening. I'm very happy to know that you back has healed enough to start exercising, just be careful. Wishing you a Healthy and Happy New Year.

Jane, you sound like you had a wonderful and busy Christmas. Little Madelyn is not only cute, she is a gorgeous little girl and you really have a good looking family all the way round. Your tree is adorable. Reminds me of ones my grandmother used to put up. I do love faux but sometimes they are too perfect. Sounds you are onto a Happy New Year and keep up your good writing. Always enjoyable to hear from you..Happy New Year..Judy

It sounds like a wonderful perfect year indeed! I don't make any resolutions, choose a word of the year, etc. Instead, I encourage myself and family to set enjoyable goals. My son made a list of classic movies he wants us to watch. I am working on trying to sew one classic dress a month. We'll see. The worst that happens is I maybe will have just one new dress versus 12. Happy New Year my friend!

Glad you're feeling better! Love your "christmas" post, beautiful pictures, and time spent together. Your tree is the perfect size, and I really do miss a real one. I think next year I'll go back to that.

Happy, Healthy New Year!

Happy New Year Jane!! Your brother in law complicating the game made me literally laugh out loud. I can imagine it! And your tree is fabulous. We haven't had a real tree in a lot of years because the artificial one I bought on clearance is so much cheaper and the needles plugged up the vacuum. But, someday I think we will again.

Finally catching up on some blog reading. As always, your posts are chock full of things to comment on, but first....the picture of Miss Madelyn - oh my! So cute! All of your celebrations sound wonderful - glad you had a happy Christmas season! As for Amazon - I'm loving Mrs. Maisel, but also binging The Americans -- it's fantastic. On Netflix, I'm watching Schitt's Creek - so funny. And on HBO (where I used to work for 32 years), My Brilliant Friend. (By the way, no exercise videos on HBO). And now I'm off to your next post! Happy New Year, Jane!

I felt frustrated, so I tried to seek help online when I came across this website https://chiefdrluckyherbaltherapy.wordpress.com/ of a doctor called Chief Dr Lucky.  Also I saw a lot of testimonials about him on how he uses natural herbal medicine to cure HIV AIDS and numerous Infections & different kinds of disease as well. So I contacted him and told him my problems after a brief consultation with him. He Prepared and  sent me the herbal medicine and I took it as he instructed me, Then he called me 3weeks after to go and have a check-up!! It brought out testing negative, I felt calm a bit, and the doctors day for more clarity I will have to come back after 1week of which I did and tested negative for the second time !!
