January 2025 Blog Train and Fan Freebie

Happy New Year!  Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's Eve.  I rarely stay up to usher in a New Year.  My mornings start way too early as it is.  I have a stable full of hungry animals to take care of each morning, and that includes holidays as well.  

I started thinking about my kids when I was working on this Blog Train.  The year we moved from Southern California up to the Minnesota/Canadian border was memorable.  My kids had never seen snow except in movies and Christmas cards.  We moved in the summer so we could all have time to adapt to the weather change.  The first day it snowed, they ran outside without shoes and discovered it was COLD !!  But, they adapted over time, and found that winter was actually kind of fun.  They learned how to skate, ski and snowmobile, and were somewhat disappointed when the snow started melting each spring.  Good memories.  But, I have to admit that I like Southern Wisconsin better.  We still have snow, but it's always at least 30 degrees warmer here than up there and a whole lot less snow.

Fan Freebie --

Oh, yes.  There's another memory here.  My brother used to pull me on a sled over to the ice skating pond to teach me how to skate.  We had so much fun.  Being the youngest in the family had its benefits. Good memories.

The Boo Update --

There is something about my black kitty slippers that attracts Boo to my feet when I wear them.  He wraps his front legs around my foot and starts rabbit-kicking with his back legs.  I'm not sure if he's trying to get those slippers off my feet or kill them.  In either case, he never ceases to entertain me.

See you next month!
