Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’ into the future ~ Steve Miller Band

January 1, 2018 and what a long, strange trip it has been. Like every year before it, 2017 had it’s highs and lows. But here we are at the dawning of 2018, and we are all still standing, right?

In my house, we have ended the year with all of us having the flu…Influenza Strain B to be exact which means it is confined to humans. Ironically, this is the year I forgot to get the flu shot. We are on self-quarantine as we would not wish this on anyone. (And boy am I glad I had a stockpile of homemade soups in the freezer!) I was seriously bummed to have the flu because last evening we had the first New Year’s Eve plans in years to have dinner with friends. And had to cancel.

Anyway, this too, the flu, shall pass….

Wishing all of you a happy and healthy 2018, and from our home to all of yours out there, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
