Catsup

Happy New Year!!

My wish for everyone is a healthy, happy, and prosperous new year.  I fervently hope that 2017 will be full of food, friends, family, adventure, new sights, and new sounds.

So hear is a little catsup from me and Oilburner:

New Years weekend was spent camping.  We took the mini-bikes in hopes of getting out.  But the allure of the sofa or camp chair and a good book and knitting were overpowering.

Camping for New Years! Camping for New Years!

Christmas Day dawned beautiful, clear and WARM!  We were hitting the low 70’s in mid Georgia and just had to take advantage of it. We met up with a friend that recently acquired a 2015 GSW in Electric Blue.  Yum.  We met up in Senoia, GA.  For those of you Walking Dead fans this city was known as Woodbury. We didn’t have a destination so enjoyed a few miles through Pine Mountain park with some great overlooks.

And I am teaching myself knitting.  I’ve knitted the cap and mitts.  Working on the scarf now.  It’s the garter stitch at this moment.  The book I bought has 12 projects that will teach me garter, stockinette, ribbing, and seed.  I’m ready to try something other than garter, but having fun seeing things completed.

  1. Happy New Year to you as well. Also wishing you a cornucopia of beautiful things to happen and good people to meet.
    Thanks for the reference to the filming location. I had binge-watched TWD during my downtime.

    1. Happy New Year, Sonja. Hugs and well wishes to you and Roland. I hope that your downtime was relaxing and enjoyable? How far did you get in binge watching? I had resisted for a few seasons, but gave in and binge watched the first three season before season 4 started. :) Lots of good photo locations here, but I haven't made a tour of it yet.

  2. Good to hear from you Lori. Happy New Year to you and Chris.

    Glad you two got out on the bikes, Im jealous of your weather. Our polar bear ride was a bust due to early morning snow flurries and potential ice on the roads.

    1. Happy New Year! I don't blame you for not hitting to roads in those conditions! Don't be jealous. It was short-lived. We're expecting snow this weekend. :) It sounds like you are still using your time and travel productively. I'm jealous of your ocean. Well met to you and Brad. Let's hope 2017 brings all good things.
