"Made in the USA" is such a fuzzy phrase today. If one small part of your product is produced by or assembled in an American company, you can claim it. I know of an online boutique that decorates clothing with paint and other embellishments. They claim "Made in the USA" because the work that makes each piece unique is done by an American in America under an LLC incorporated in America. But all their supplies - the paint, the jewelry hardware, the clothes they alter - are all imported from overseas. The only American thing they are bringing to the product is their artistic vision. But that's enough to qualify, I guess.

Today is DH and my 65th wedding anniversary. When I went to see him in memory care they were having a New Years party. We had crowns and a festive snack. Someone announced the occasion and the singer sang a special song. It was very nice.

Wren - congrats on 65 years!
Jazzy - enjoy your new car and drive it in good health. What model is the car
Kim - I miss dogs for letting us know when someone is near or at the door
We are home from a week with our kids. It was a great visit except for rain all day Sunday! It was raining Monday morning so we took GD to an indoor play place and spend about 1 1/2 hours having fun. My GD is so much fun. She has so much personality. I already miss them. My daughter went back to work this morning and our flight was in the afternoon. We ran a couple errands and packed up. The car service came at 1:45 as our flight was at 4pm. We got into Denver early, but had to wait for our son to pick us up and I told him the wrong place to that took extra time so we didn't get to the house till after 7pm. Lots and lots of picture.
Hard to believe 2024 is coming to an end - and already over in many places.. I can’t say I’m sorry to see it go as it has had its challenges health wise. I just hope things settle down in 2025 but I’m not certain. My labs for my nephrologist were wonky and he wants them repeated in 3 - 6 weeks. I hope the results were just a fluke. My glucose was way high out of normal limits and my eGFR was lower and Creatinine higher than it's been. I have labs for my hematologist on Jam 7 and I see him on January 13. I just need a boring year health wise.
Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and all things good in 2025.

Native, the advice from the cops was given to me and my former neighbors because there was a rash of vehicle thefts for cars that had the fobs and keyless start. They also said if you had a garage and the car could fit in it, use your garage. When we owned our old house, we always used the garage and did as the cops advised, especially if we were warming up the car in the morning. We never left the car running and the fob in it.

Good morning friends and happy New Year. We made it to 2025!
I love, Love, LOVE the new car. I was out and about in it for a trip to the gym for some yoga, then to some errands and the spontaneous mid afternoon meet up with a couple friends. I find those spontaenous things can be fun and most of us have too much going on to do things without planning, but yesterday, it happened. We enjoyed some half price champagne and happy hour apps and it was perfect to get home by 6 p.m. New Mexico has a huge DWI problem and its a problem any time of the year, but of course, worse on NYE. In general, most people don't go out but do things earlier or today. There were a lot of fireworks in the hood last night and the usual shooting of guns in the air at midnight which is a not good thing here as the year changes. Today is home organization day and decided to skip the "polar plunge" at the gym this morning (eek!)
Wren- happy 65 years of marraige. The memory center made for a special celebration for you. Blessing to you both in the new year.
Karen- I am glad you had a good visit with the family. I hope you have a boring health year too, and I would love a boring year in general. My car is a Corolla Cross Hybrid XSE (sort of the middle of the road with trim features).
Mommy- my sales guy talked about the importance of being sure I never leave the key fob in the car (my last primary vechicle was a key type). I put my house keys on it. We have a lot of cars being stolen here and there were some cars I looked at but avoided because they don't have as good security and frequently stolen here. I just heard about a bunch of cars stolen over the past few days. Garage everything you can.
Teka- happy new year and hope all is well in north country!
Blessing to everyone here as the new year starts!

Karen, glad you enjoyed your visit with daughter and gd. Hope the blood results are improved on the next testing.
Happy anniversary, Wren.
Nice car, Jazzy! Hope you enjoy driving it.
Another horrible mass killing on the New Orleans News this morning. Ten very unfortunate people won't have a 2025. Many others injured. I'm sure it will be on the news all over the country. Our political leaders will offer up thoughts and prayers.
Thankful that 2024 wasn't a bad year for us despite some health issues. DH has his 2nd knee replacement scheduled for January. We're hoping it goes as well as the first surgery. I will be spending some time (and some money) in the dentist's chair in January. Not looking forward to that.
Good news on weight loss on this first day of 2025. I'm finally down another couple of lbs!
Enjoy the day whatever you're doing!

Got to get moving on a special present I am making for one of my maternal aunt’s. Her birthday is at the end of the month.
Saved a little money by trimming my Nugget’s nails. He was nervous but I talked to him as I was doing it and he let me finish and was rewarded with a treat.

Happy New Year !
I haven’t been on for a while. I did try to catch up on everyone, but it was quite a lot.
NM- I love hearing about mom. A lot of what you are going through, I am right there. My sister gives all of us a planner/calendar every Christmas for new year. This one was laid out a little bit different and my mom said she didn’t understand it. I went to her house and explained the whole calendar to her, and I said “You know ma, it's a calendar they have been around forever, I think you can figure this out on your own”. We went over the lay out and how the bookmark worked. I admire your patience, I have 2 sisters close by and we all share the mom thing.
Christmas was busy with family and I have quite a few grandchildren so it is hectic but fun. My mom is on a very limited income and thinks she needs to buy for everyone. There is too much family for her to do this. I told her just to bake something and that can be a family gift. My grandmother did this and we looked forward every year to it, my kids loved getting it. She said she is going to do that next year. (I keep thinking that is what she said last year)
I stayed home for News Year eve and heard the fireworks and guns, not just at midnight, they start really early in the afternoon and last till way after midnight. When I was a kid, we just went out and banged pots and pans and shouted.
I am trying to lose weight, I am not on any special diet, just trying to cut down my calories and portion control. I have not stopped eating carbs, but have cut way back on them, and I love sandwiches and have not had any bread for about 3 weeks. I have lost a bit and am trying to stay committed to it. Carole – I am interested in how your WW is going, I have often thought about trying it.
Have a great Friday!

Mistyeyes, your Christmas with grandchildren sounds lovely. I think children "make" a Christmas family celebration. My mother was like your mother, not financially able to buy everyone a nice gift but every Christmas that was her wish. It was up to me to come up with an idea. Whatever we decided, she was never satisfied. In May she will have been gone six years. I still miss her and have conversations with her.
WW has changed. There is no longer an emphasis on meetings with an inspiring leader. It's mostly an dividual effort using a phone app to track daily points and create recipes and find recipes. The app is helpful when grocery shopping because you can easily look up almost any product. I'm paying only $10 a month. I started before Thanksgiving and have managed to lose 7 1/2 lbs. It helps that dh is managing his own diet and losing weight. Good luck to you in dropping some lbs.
It's 52 degrees this morning and sunny. I plan to go to the gym today and attend a senior exercise class that is challenging for us oldies. Molly gives us a workout.
Happy Friday.

I have finally started losing my AI weight by going low-FODMAPs. I've had SIBO (one of the conditions under the IBS umbrella) for years. Now my digestion has slowed down enough to get access to more nutrients from my food. I'm not as hungry as I used to be, and I think I'm getting better sleep too. Now that I'm off of anastrozole - yay!! - I hope my weight trend will continue downwards.
