Well, here we are—another year in the books! We’re doing fine, all things measured. Our kids are well. The grandkids are growing up too fast. This past year had us staying closer to home, working on home projects that seemed never-ending. You know how it goes: one thing leads to another, and before we knew it, we were knee-deep in paint cans; cleaning out closets; hauling stuff to Goodwill; changing out electrical fixtures; ordering new furniture; wall art—and then the water heater blew up on a holiday weekend (naturally). It’s always something. That said, I did manage to get up to Idaho a few times to see Allie. We had some great moments together—however, I’ve yet to spot a moose. Do they really exist? The search goes on. In the meantime, here are some of my favorite images from 2024…
