Yesterday

  As we look back on 2025 and other years, If I Were A Rich Man!  Boi, boi, boi!  If I were a wealthy man!   Jon and I have so many good memories of our New Year's Eve celebrations.  This year we have already discussed whether we can make it until midnight.  We shall see...

If you would like to begin your New Year with something uplifting, I suggest watching the movie, "Yesterday".  Be sure to watch it to the end.  Worth it.  Happy New Year!

Imagine 

Ending 2025...

 Peace through music...  We were so naive back in 1970 and here we are...

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree

There will be an answer, let it be

For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see

There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be, be

And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me

Shinin' until tomorrow, let it be

I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

The rain on Christmas Day.  It's beginning to stick to the ground.

The snow on Dec. 26th.

I have no plans to shop or purchase anything the day after Christmas, but just enjoy the day.

 Merry Christmas!  I'm just posting photos from Christmas past and I came across this video that I didn't remember I had taken.  

The Nebraska Cornhusker hat.

The sled run at the Loman place.  Short, but steep and serious curves and corners.

Christmas 2012.

This year we had rain on Christmas Eve.  There's no snow even in the higher elevations toward the 120 Trail up on Middle Mountain.  It's a very unusual winter so far.  It certainly makes it a lot easier to get around and do things and lucky for me with a bad back since snow shoveling hasn't been required.  

We have stockings under our tree from Santa and his helpers and Lady has some new toys. 

Merry Christmas from Hope!  Enjoy my snowy photos from years past.

COW!  Ben's favorite toy.
