Happy New Year! I usually like to take the tree down on New Year’s Day, but I feel like we haven’t had it up that long.

Our tree is down and I'm in garden planting mode. Planting cabbage today.

Ours has done so well not drying out that it has been granted a reprieve.

Sounds like you don’t really get a break from the garden. I hate being cold but I do like some time off. You’ll be harvesting your cabbage before I decide where to plant mine!

Good morning! Geez New Year’s Eve??? Well ok. I’m old enough now they’ve sort of run together. I might watch some fireworks on tv. Hope 25 is a good one for you all!

I remember 25!!!

It was FANTASTIC! I was young, pain free, SINGLE, and not kinds! Woot!!!

I should have been more specific! I meant I hope 2025 would be a good year. I’m 68 and don’t have any specific memories of being 25, but I didn’t have kids either and was thin, strong and pain free! I didn’t appreciate it then!

Yes!!!! To that last part!

I knew I had it good, but in hindsight I should have enjoyed that time even more than I did!!!

'not kinds' ?

I remember 25 - Paying for a house, one kid , hardly enough money to pay the bills, begging for and working every bit of overtime possible - the pain free part was great - the rest - meh.

Yeah... autocorrect has been messing up my messages!

not kinds = no kids

Third kid was born when I was 25 along with the caboose at 27. Two girls followed two boys.
