2026 THANKFUL THURSDAY 13 – 1/1

Happy New Year from Idaho! And yep, that’s a ginormous potato dropping for the New Year. Luckily, we are famous for our potatoes and not something like rats or roaches, right?
So gross…

I know, I’ve been gone. I do that sometimes. Life happens, and apparently crazy happens. EVERYWHERE! Geesh.
Fortunately, I’ve kept my venting on other social media sites.
– You’re welcome. –

In other news, it’s not only Thursday 13, but it’s also Thankful Thursday! And I have to say, on this 1st Thankful Thursday of the New Year, I am so thankful to ring in another year!


2026 and here we all are… Please know that I am praying for all of you to receive God’s blessings of good health, full bellies and full bank accounts, a safe place to lay your head, the love of warm and welcoming family and friends, and peace and comfort in your souls.

As we all navigate another year together, please remember…
