Appetizer
How do you usually celebrate on New Year’s Eve?

We usually stay home and flip back and forth through the various New Year’s programs on TV. With New Year’s Eve being on Sunday night this year, I am sure we will have a church service, but Pastor doesn’t like to keep us out late then — he doesn’t want to send us out on the streets right when the drunk drivers are heading home, too.

Soup
Name one thing unexpected that happened to you in 2006.

No major big surprises, but one unexpected thing was starting a blog. I don’t know how long I had been thinking about it before I finally took the plunge, but I have enjoyed it immensely!

Salad
Where was your favorite place that you visited in 2006?

We didn’t really go anywhere this year — which is fine by me! I’m don’t travel well and prefer to be like Beth in Little Women, the cricket by the hearth. Everyone else can travel and come tell me about it and show me their pictures. But I did enjoy visiting a little with my good friend Valorie. When we moved to a town 40 minutes or so away, I thought we’d see each other all the time. But we don’t, sadly. Whenever I do go to that town and call her on my cell phone on the way to see if she has time to get together, she’s always very gracious. 🙂

Main Course
What resolution is your top priority for 2007?

I don’t really do resolutions per se, but I do like to sit down and take stock and make goals. The first goal would be to maintain one goal I have had for years: to read the Bible every day and grow more into what He wants me to be. One new goal I really, really need to make is to incorporate some kind of regular exercise into my life

Dessert
Using just three words, describe 2006.

Peaceful, normal, uneventful. That may sound boring, but we experienced an upheaval right at the end of 2005 with my mom’s death, and other years have had other calamities, so yes, I’ll gladly take peaceful, normal, and uneventful this year! 🙂

  5. I’m a cricket on the hearth, too, Barbara. I rarely travel. I’m like you – I’ll stay in my nice comfortable home and everyone else can travel and then come tell me all about it. 🙂

    Peaceful, uneventful and normal are exactly what I’m hoping for in 2007. I’d consider that a true blessing.

    Happy New Year to you.
