So glad the photos are back - I love following along with your journals which are as much about the writing as the pictures! Happy Anniversary to your mom and dad! And Happy 5 Years to you and Holly :) I remember that trip, you posting the pictures along the way with updates, and how exciting it was :) I hope that you can all do some more trips / drives to other states this year, and explore a bit more. Although if gas prices there are anything like here, it's not a cheap thing to do really.
Sounds like you've had a good start to 2024 (minus the weather/basement flooding), and here's to a happy and healthy continuance for the rest of the year :) Sending love to you all xxx

I’m glad you and Holly had a good day, hopefully you enjoyed your phone call with your friend Shirley. I’m glad to hear you’re still feeding your nature friends, I’m sure they really appreciated in this weather, I know mine do. Right now I have at least four squirrels running around the yard in about 20 to 25 birds waiting their turn for the feeder and it’s so cool to watch.
Thanks for sharing your amazing nature pics and that was very nice of Linda to send you a postcard from the botanical garden.
We’re getting snow again today, hopefully won’t be too much and yes, thank God the temps are going to rise again next week.
Take care and enjoy your baking Friday today, hopefully the kids can make it over in this weather
Hugs Jeannie
