Here we are… ending the year

Here we are… ending the year

 

We have two days left of November and then we hit December… and nearing the ending of 2021.

After ending 2020… anything was to look better. This year lead to a somewhat loosing up of lives. People could once again go visit relatives..  That they did this Thanksgiving. The highways and airports were full this year.  Although kind of uneventful as there were no big stories of people being stranded for days at airports because of the weather.  So that is good.

 

We got to drive down to see our kids in Washington State. That was great.  Even with the year off to a horrible start of losing the King’s brother, we are surviving.  We have been in good enough health to help his widow.  Considering our ages .. 69 and 81, that is quite an accomplishment too.

 

We are already setting up goals for next year. One of the major ones, is working on the house.  Some how we missed the deterioratation  of part of  the side of our house. We don’t use that part of our yard much at all…mostly for going from the back yard to the front, and I am guessing we don’t look up very often. Otherwise we would have seen that the paint is falling off the under part of our overhang of the roof.   So that is number one on our list of doing things..  Also we had decided to put metal 4 feet up on the sides of the house. The King’s idea.  His theory is .. it will help the paint. Seems that there is a couple of areas where there is a lot of water damaged … and even heat from the dryer, drying out the paint.  His thoughts are if we metalize it… less damage.  Have to think this one out really well, before we start that.  We did do that to our hot tub building.. and I have to admit, it does look nice.  But still got to think it out.

 

So this year, was a learning curve for the nation…. Do we mask or not.. do we get the shot or not.. And some really opinionated people, with their own ideas of it. And sadly the government is trying to push one side down the other side’s throat.  Some states are saying no..  So we will see how this winter plays out.

 

Usually I end a year with…        “Well, there is another year shot to hell”  but somehow I think 2020 can’t be topped for that.
