Fifty years ago on January 31, Steve and I were married so everything in 2025 will be commemorating 50 years of something for him and me. Nice, huh?
We finished off 2024 being in Greenwood Indiana. We drove there Monday and we stayed until after a mid-day nap on Wednesday. We really didn't do a whole lot. I pulled out Julina's sewing machine and mended some things. We ran to a couple of stores for New Year's food and snacks but we didn't stay up until midnight. We watched the 2024 The Best Christmas Pageant Ever and re-watched Red One. Julina worked much of the time.
Once back in St. Louis, I resumed taking Christmas decorations down (the main tree came down last Saturday) and, by Thursday evening, I was finished. Steve took down all his nativities today so we just have outdoor lights and oversized balls on the deck to put away but it has been too cold to want to do much of anything outside. And, we are expecting a major winter storm tonight into tomorrow. State highway department information signs on the interstates have said "don't drive Saturday night and Sunday" so our church meetings have been cancelled as I suspect most other churches have, too.
We worked in the baptistry this morning and, possibly due to the impending storm or because people are still on winter break, the attendance was light. Tonight, we watched the third movie of the God Is Not Dead series that we received last Christmas. All the movies are very thought provoking.
I honestly don't have much more to report so I will close with a bird feeder update - the squirrels have discovered the feeder! Bah Humbug! Once temperatures get back into the 40's, we will look into installing a pole in the middle of the yard with some kind of squirrel baffle. In the meantime - SO. MANY. SQUIRREL. PHOTOS!!!!! Plus snaps of Steve, me, our car....but, some fun birds, too. I am fairly sure the brown bird with the longer tail and beak is a nuthatch.
