  1. Happy New Year, Brenda! Lots of big news for you in 2017 and I wish you nothing but wonderful things in 2018!

  2. Happy New Year Brenda,

    You are a bright spot in the blogging world with your honesty, exceptional writing ability and beautiful photos. I hope this year brings you exactly what you want. And of course good health.

  3. It was quite a year, Brenda! For me, too, as the bank decided they would foreclose on my Home Equity Loan which I was behind on. Thankfully, after spending the whole summer exploring and applying for solutions I was saved by our Michigan Housing Authority just before Thanksgiving when they paid my arrears on the loan for me and got the bank to reinstate it. So, after all that, I am so grateful not to have to move from the wonderful neighborhood I've lived in for over thirty years. Whew! What a blessing…and a learning experience, never having dealt with the court and lawyers before!

    So I'm looking forward to spending another year in my house (at least) and another year (at least) reading your blog! I am wishing you good health in 2018 and many days of joy and happiness.

  4. Oh and Happy New Year to you, Charlie and Abi. Looking forward to seeing your beautiful patio filled with plants and flowers!

    1. I commented but have no idea what happened to it. I'm fairly new to your blog so I didn't know that much about you or your early childhood. Are any of your siblings half? And are there any boys? Glad you have your one sister to share with along with your daughter and Andrew.

  5. Happy New Year Brenda. I look forward each day to reading your blog. I love hearing about you and your pups, the garden with all the flowers, birds and of course the squirrels. On the gloomiest of days you give each of your readers something to look forward to hearing about.
    I hope that this new year brings you good health and much joy.

Thank you for all the effort it requires to produce your blog for us. Whether it is about your furbabies, your garden,your decorating, or life as it is, I enjoy every word you write. Happy New Year friend…Sylvia

  9. I truly enjoyed all your blog posts this past year. My own year has been probably one of the most eventful ones of my life. It seems like this past year has flown by. Happy New Year Brenda, I look forward to all your posts in 2018.

    Have a wonderful New Year!! May this New Year's Eve be a cozy, safe and happy one. You have blessed me soooooo much(beyond actual words) by your delightful and honest blog. What you have written has given me hope, inspiration and insight on issues I deal with. I pray you find 2018 to be good to you. All my love

  12. Happy New Year Brenda!! I just recently moved to OKC from Las Vegas!! Just had my belongings delivered yesterday!! I purchased a home four doors down from one of my sisters. I have always dreamed of living on the same street as my family. I enjoy your blog very much and your book recommendations. I have read two so far. The exit and the book store one. I loved them both. Thanks for writing.

  13. Happy New Year to you Brenda! Stay warm & cozy and enjoy your day doing what you like to do best. We gave up the party life many years ago. Just enjoy our recliners, coffee and the quiet life now. Take care, Kaylene
