HOOT HOOT!
This is the first thing I heard when I took out Coopy on Jan. 1st. I woke up to this glorious view, and then…..
OWLS??? Not one but TWO! And guess what they wanted for breakfast?
Yes, this innocent little fuzzball.
Well, I saved him. HA! They were magnificent however. Anyway, Tatum got the year going with our new calendar and our devotion.
And dad started on the “removal.” This is probably my favorite part of the holiday season. I’m not a grinch. It’s just too much everywhere! I need my space and my declutterized zones. Ya know?
Coopy supervised as usual. He toggled between my lasagna-making
and dad’s deconstruction. Thrilling moment. OH, and of course Tatum’s game of Uno with her “kids.”
I think Rio is winning. He has a knack about him. Just look at that face! Looks innocent but NOPE.
Ok, back to the day. We made cookies. Well, Tatum helped me measure, mix and monitor. AND TASTE!! It’s an important job.
SHE ALSO FINISHED HER BOOK! And named it:
THE SHADOW’S CHILD. We will work on getting it published now. More later.
I AM SO PROUD OF HER!!
Otherwise, it was pretty uneventful except we did do our 2026 goals for the year. We reviewed our 2025 (you can look back at that), and updated. Tatum has many more this year!!
Here are Doug’s: GO HONEY!!
My cutie pie’s:
I AM PROUD OF YOU! I love these. I know you are going to do great at school to finish 7th grade.
Then mine. I PRAY for true healing. I DO PRAY!!
I’ll add for family that I hope to do more activities TOGETHER. They are simple and straightforward. Here’s to 2026. I LOVE YOU JESUS.
