Figured I should get this in under the wire....
Geogal and I don't mail out Christmas letters any more. We still get a few and some are downright laughable. No doubt Facebook and the like have made these types of manifestos a bit meaningless. This entry isn't meant to sound like one of those end-of-the-year-pump-ourselves-up mailings but I thought some musing wouldn't hurt.
Upgraded the house just a bit, mostly by adding an egress window to one of the basement rooms. Now we officially have three bedrooms. And an office. And a large basement catch-all that tends to be the center of social activities for little Geoana. Also replaced the garage door and cut down a couple of black walnut trees resulting in more sunlight and less mowing mess during the summer.
Upgraded our technology, too. Since the beginning of 2011 we have replaced two run-of-the-mill cellphones with iPhones. Also got an iPad mainly for Geogal's schoolwork but during semester breaks the tablet sees a never-ending Angry Birds tournament.
Cut back on the summer getaways. Made only one journey, to Rocky Mountain National Park. This coming summer, likely no trip. Between limited funds (thanks to Geogal's schooling and not working full time as a result) and a lack of destinations within reasonable driving distance we might just do the "staycation" thing.
Expect more hunting ventures, trap shooting Saturdays, and basketball games thanks to the interests of little Geoana. Who will not be referred to as "little" after this entry due to regular readers not likely confusing her with Geogal. The child is also not that little anymore.
Interesting, how did this entry go from being a look back at 2011 to a look forward at 2012? That's my style of writing for you.
Happy new year!
