January 1-15, 2026

The first half of the first month of the new year of the HORSE galloped it's way through Morningstar, with a peaceful regularness of normal. We hung up our BINGO boards, hoping to be inspired to start crossing things off. (Lo and Haze will have a blackout before summer!) We finally got a new rug for the front room, which the kitties love, and school resumed with it's wickedly cold January temperatures.

Our Winter House tradition also resumed! Spending the long weekend, with the Hustons, and puzzles and a frozen lake was just what we all needed. Weekending in January did eliminate our cheesy holiday movie, but we easily swapped that with exposing our off spring to "The Legend of Billy Jean". (They were not impressed.)

Our first official X on the board was "help someone on the side of the road". AP and the Big Green Machine were able to assist a stranded driver. Yep, he pulled a semi out of the ditch. Who's built different now?

I shoulda put "attend protest after protest" on my board.🤦
