I
As 2024 leaves us in a few hours, I'm reflecting on a year that was filled with much joy and also unbearable sadness. After losing our beloved Sporty and Smokey, we were feeling pretty low with grief. When you have them for the rest of their life, we know it's inevitable, but still a crushing blow. But we keep going, and are so very thankful for the time we had them in our lives! But that's not the only reason for this post. We also had great joy this past year. All of our family made it home for Christmas and we were fortunate to have gatherings during the year. I'm thankful for good health too! Our season of horseback riding was wonderful too as always, it's so good to see our old friends and make new ones too. If this sounds like a thankful Thanksgiving post well that's OK. We are grateful for the year we had! We're looking forward to 2025 and all the new challenges and experiences that come our way. Our wish to you all and your family, and beloved furry members of your family, is to have a safe, happy and healthy 2025! And old Irish tradition is to open the back door of your house just before midnight to let out the old year, and open the front door just after midnight to let the new year in, I love it!
Happy New Year everyone, from our house to yours! 🎉🥂
