Happy Saturday to all of my friends, writers, and readers on Hive!
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly days off of work fly. It probably should be noted I didn't get out of bed until after 11. I didn't sleep well between my tight hip and Jeff's CPAP making noise. I gave up around midnight and slept in the guest room. I woke up every hour, or so.
I did manage to accomplish a few things that needed to be done around the house. I folded laundry and straightened the guest room up.
Jeff is finally starting to feel better but keeps getting the hiccups. We went to Walmart and Giant Eagle to gather food items and purchased two 15" charcuterie boards for staying on New Year's Eve. We bought crackers, pepperoni, cheeses, grapes, blueberries, pickles, olives, jelly, bell peppers, cucumbers, French onion dip, and crostini bread.
On New Year's Day, we will have pork and saurkraut, a German tradition for New Year's celebrations.
We have one more day left to live in 2023. God has been merciful and brought our family through another year with no loss of life. I pray that your new year is filled with blessings. Happy New Year!

My hip is sore from washing dishes, shopping at two stores, and going up and down stairs to complete laundry today so I'm going to apply some heat and enjoy a relaxing evening at home. I'm alive and thriving in Pennsylvania.
