2025 did not begin well with my nephew having to evacuate and my brother on constant alert to possibly evacuate.  Ten months later my nephew was finally able to return home which is a highlight of the year.

We had one last trip from my bucket list to a remote area.  Our last chance to do a remote area before feeling we shouldn't be doing these anymore.  We planned a wonderful trip with close friends to Patagonia in November.   They only booked the trip because of us.  To our relieve they loved it and were very glad they went.  I would have felt terrible having to back out and then then didn't think it was all that great.

Alas, the odds of us ever going there now are extremely slim.  I've pulled it off of my bucket list.  Of course I had to stay home and focus on improving my health.

The year isn't ending well with losses of friends and major concerns about the health of a few loved ones.  Missing a trip to Patagonia pales in comparison.

The high point of our year definitely is the birth of our grandson George in May.

Sounds like a great Zoom gathering.  I hope to join in on one of the future Zooms.

The other day I opened Richard and Me to begin reading it, and then when I couldn't stop sneezing I decided to read something I didn't care if I missed a bit of it.

Instead, appropriate for the day, I am reading Miracle Cure by Harlan Coben published in 1991.  It is a murder mystery involving a clinic working on a cure for Aids and the evil people who don't want this to happen.

I think I have seen Remember the Night before. It’s not perfect, but the leads are mighty fine.

The Zoom gathering sounded like fun.  Unfortunately I find group video chats stressful since I really can't hear what is being said.

I know so little about plants and gardening that usually when DR John G. mentions something, I choose to think that it's a made-up name.      :)
