Weekend Roundup/Reflections -- das Ende

HAPPY NEW YEAR 


 _ _ _ _ 

This Week's Prompts are New Year, A Favorite, Festiveand A Lagniappe for the end of the year.

I finished the alphabet last week with the letter "Z".  Not sure about 2022, whether or not we will have alphabet photos to find.

My New Year Resolutions ditty.  It gets longer over here


I used to think Resolutions  

 Never again 
After I found out 
 How far away 
Monahans is from me
 Monahans Texas 
Is 510 miles from me 
 Here in Katy Texas 

 Resolutions are useless 
Useless as driving to Monahans 
 Because I don't know 
Don't know anyone there 
  
And I don't know 
Anything I need to Resolve

A Favorite. Our backyard in the winter.  It was 82F this afternoon, we had lunch outside on the picnic table.  We may get cold this weekend so I will take care of the Hibiscus by bringing them into the garage.

Festive.  The candy corn is a leftover from my Birthday.  It and National Candy Corn Day are celebrated the same day, October 31.  

This year it was very Festive as we had a family lunch at a nice place.  Two of the five kids came with spouses, two granddaughters and spouse, and great grandchildren.  After lunch we watched one of the grandchildren play soccer and football   

The cinnamon jellybeans wanted to be in the picture and the jars were full of candy when we left the Marriot Hotel in Washington, D.C. a few years ago.

A Lagniappe:  This is an old picture that belonged to a friend of Mrs. Jim.  The lady died several years ago, we don't know much about the photo, it seems to be taken at a business workshop.  The fellow third from the left is of the friend's father.

Reflections. 
Water Reflections.  Nice sunset too.  Weather guy is telling us to pack the swimsuits Saturday night as we will have a few days of cold, almost freezing during the nights for the first few.

...Jim, I gave up on resolutions years ago.
...82F, that's hot for me in the summer.
...candy and I don't get along well, one never seems like enough.
Jim, I hope that you and your family will have a Healthy and Happy New year.
 
Interesting post. Happy New Year!
 
HAPPY NEW YEAR Jim I do not make resolutions. I love your reflection image. I hope you have a great week ahead.
 
Wish you and your wife a pleasant 2022 from the Netherlands. Here is it also not cold and now we all can see what the climate change do. Its winter but we receive just rain here. Hope we recieve snow because thats belong to this season.
 
Beautiful.
 
I don't do resolutions anymore. I never kept them, so decided not to make any so as not to feel bad. It was a beautiful Christmas here, too. Not 82, but close. Happy New Year, Jim.
 
Hi Jim and Happy New Year, to you, and your family! I have a very short post this week, one photo with a lot of words. I'm glad 2021 is behind me, and I'm looking forward to 2022! Take care and best wishes for a great year!
Dawn
