IMPERIAL MILK
STOUT WITH GINGER AND HONEY
This beer was tasty but I couldn't finish it so I give it a 3 out of 5. I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it; if someone gave me one, I would drink it, but would need to share. (Paul didn't like it at all, so I need someone else to share it with.)

Here's my update on my list from last year. Not a great completion rate.
1-10:
Completed #s 1 and 3. I had wanted to do more visiting but that didn't work out, what with moving and COVID and all that.
11-20:
Completed 11 & 14. I probably should have looked at my list more to remember to do the things on the list.
21-30:
Completed 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, and 30. I posted daily pictures (well mostly) which increased my blog posts. Here's the 1SE project.
I interviewed my grandsons for my Story Corp interviews. I scanned some of the old pictures and scanned some of my grandfather's WWI era letters. I also finished hemming the curtains at our house before we moved.
31-40:
Completed 31, 37 & 40. I've done a ton of reading on my Kindle; I started the Count of Monte Cristo -- still need to finish it up. I did the picture diary -- about 1 picture a day. I think I'll probably keep doing that this year. I did send a few cards out.
41-50:
Completed 42, 46. Again, didn't get very far on these. I am almost done with the Grinch Quilt. Next year it will definitely be done. Yay!
So that's it. I completed 16 out of 52 -- or I will once I make my list for 2022. I am starting to work on the list. I want to pick things that I really want to do and then do them.
Last year, my niece did a cheese tasting thing (where they tried lots of different cheeses) and that seemed like a pretty good thing. I won't do cheese because that's a copy cat thing -- however, there are other things I could work on trying. Just trying to come up with something.
Dec 13 - rainy day

July 16 - Poor Charlie July 19 - Hanging with Rowie July 20 - Cousins July 20
