Twiggy and Lucy were faced with a decision. Do we continue our routine in spite of the fact that it is cold and overcast? There is one photo that sums up the path chosen. Oh yes, those are my feet.
We hope your New Year’s Day was just as exciting.
Thursday – A Little Personal – New Year’s Day
Published by John W. Howell
I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two. I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets. View all posts by John W. Howell
That seems to be a family nap, John. 😀 — Suzanne

There was only one missing. The producer had a couch to herself.

Physically, I had a very relaxing day, but my brain is going through hoops at the moment, trying to figure out the best way forward! It’s a great pity that brain exercise doesn’t help you to lose weight…

I’m sure those two worked hard to earn the rest!
Had a different Jan 1st as we’ve never attended a New Year’s Day party. Interesting … 12 people from different aspect of the hosts’ life were invited for an afternoon dinner … and most of us (guests) didn’t know each other. We had a wonderful time – and so did others!

That looks like a fine way to welcome the new year. Our pup would fit right in, John. My legs are pillows. It seems yours are an entire bed for Twiggy.

So true. I couldn’t get up for about two hours. So I watched the Alabama/Michigan game. The MSU alum in me had hoped Michigan would teach Sabin something. Didn’t happen.

There was a lot of that going on, although I did find a new place for a walk, and a friend and I discovered a brand new, very nice coffee shop. Mmmmm… muffins!

It’s a dreary, rainy day in East Texas also. I think Lucy and Twiggy have the right idea. Happy New Year, John.

If it’s hard for the dogs to decide whether to go out when it’s cold and overcast, what about the poor humans that have to take them out in all weathers? We have to make that same decision on more days than not – today being (yet another) case in point.
