Sunday Stealing

 

1. What did you do this year that you had not done before?  I made Chex Mix for the first time in my life.  Isn't that exciting?

2. Did you keep your New Year's Resolutions/goals for the year and will you make/set more for next year?  What are they? What are your new ones?  I am too old to make New Year's resolutions.

3. Did anyone you know give birth? Or get pregnant?  The preacher's son at the Baptist church is the only one I can think of whose wife had a baby.  Now they have two sweet daughters. 

4. Did anyone you know die? One of my cousins lost her husband, and Cliff had a cousin die.  Or have a serious illness?  No one close to me that I can think of, although a cousin  Alice (my age) and her husband were in a head-on crash while Christmas shopping, and both had injuries.  Alice was in the  hospital longer and had many broken bones.

5. What places did you visit?  I don't even think we left the state this year!  We went to see autumn leaves in the Ozarks (bad timing, the leaves were prettier here at home), and we went again to the Ozarks so Cliff could buy a faulty tractor so he'd have something to do. 

6. What would you like to have next year that you lacked this year (doesn't have to be a physical thing)?  I would like to know that all our family could get together without someone holding a grudge for a relative and refusing to  go anywhere that person is going to be... so the family circle is broken.

7. What date from this year will remain etched in your memory and why?  I can't think of any particular date, but even if there was one, I would likely have forgotten it by now.  Sometimes I can't even remember why I walked into another room.

8. What was your biggest achievement this year?  my garden 

9. Did you get sick or injured? No.  I haven't even had a cold since before the Covid appeared.  Anyone you know?  See question number 4. 

10. What was the best thing you bought?  A new mattress, I suppose.  How boring, right? 

11. Where did most of your disposable income go (money leftover after you pay for food, transportation and shelter)?  Old tractors for Cliff and high-priced chocolate for me. 

12. What song will always remind you of this year?  All of the Monkeys Ain't in the Zoo 

13. What do you wish you would have done more of?  Not a thing. 

14. What do you wish you would have done less of?   Nothing.  Every day was precious. 

15. What was your favorite new TV program? Movie? Album/Songs? Or if you didn't pick up any new ones, what are you still watching/listening to?  Cliff and  I bring our noon meal (dinner) into the living room and watch an Andy Griffith show.  We've seen them all multiple times, but that show takes us back to a kinder, gentler time.

We watch movies on Paramount and Netflix.  We watched Big George Foreman on Netflix night before last, and really enjoyed it.  Afterward I googled the actual boxing match portrayed at the end of the movie.
