2022 is hurtling into history, and given events, will no doubt make a huge splash in future history books. My life wasn’t quite so momentous as world events, but our trip to Israel and Egypt is definitely one for my books, both fictional and real. What are your year’s wondrous memories? Do you have plans for more in 2023?
Here’s to peace, love, and joy for all in the new year!
Pat, I'll offer our delightful wine tasting in an amazing Northern Italian wine shop hosted by two marvelous siblings. So much warmth and laughter and sense of Italianness!

Definitely some amazing memories from 2022 - visiting Pompeii after dreaming about it for years, and also our trip to the Orkney Islands. Just wonderful!

Our 50th wedding anniversary party in May, a wonderful gathering of family and friends. COVID had put it off for all most a year, but it was so nice to celebrate with everyone and for my husband and I to reflect on our lives together. We are blessed!
And a thank you to the Wenches for providing lively and interesting discussions through the year. I so enjoy this site.

Both favorite memories from other years. Isn't it wonderful that we finally emerged from isolation and can see the world's wonders again?

50 years need to be celebrated, congratulations! There's a memory to cling to forever.
And we should thank our marvelous readers more often. Without you, we would not be...

This was a tough year for us, but in the midst of the challenges, I am very grateful for two new friends on the opposite side of the world! One is in Australia, and I met her through a course we both took with Anne Gracie. The other is in South Africa. In the midst of global tumult, it has been wonderful to be reminded that we all have dreams and we can all help each other achieve them - and make new wondrous memories!
The best of New Years to you all!

Isn't it wonderful to have friends around the world? And that we have the technology to keep up with them?
Hugs on the bad year and hopes the new one will be much better!
