So, it's been forever since I've posted. Though I was surprised that I had posted in September. I'm not going to post pictures. But I will re-cap my 2023 list here.
What happened this year, other than family issues, was that we ended up moving - from California to South Carolina. The craziness of it all has kept me from doing normal things, like blogging, baking cookies, baking bread, exercising, just about everything. We left California on December 26 and landed in South Carolina on January 2. Fortunately, the weather was good and we arrived safe but exhausted.
Now, on to the recap of 2023:

Moving is one of those big all encompassing things. Hope you are settling in and getting back to normal and finding a new routine. Congrats on all you did from your list for 2023, it's a lot even if you didn't get to all of it.
Moving across country is a BIG thing! I never finished updating my list and I didn’t move although I feel like I typed it up and then forgot to publish.
Maybe we can come visit now that are you are “closer”.
