01-03-25 Well, here we are... 2025 finally arrives. I sincerely hope you all had a safe and wonderful 2024 holiday season. Sharon and I did not do
any Christmas season decorations. With just her and I here, we chose to share in the holiday season on Netflix and Prime videos & movies. When I was a kid, we used to watch
The Wizard of Oz every holiday season. So, when I seen the advertisement trailer for the new movie Wicked, I got sucked in and rented it for $19.95. The main theme of the
movie was centered on the beginning and early days of the Wicked Witch of the West. When she was born, her skin was lizard green and was so throughout her life. Funny, I
never associated the Wicked Witch of the West as having green skin in the original Wizard of Oz. Might have been due to our family did not have color TV when it first came
out back in those days. Yes, the video photography was amazing in Wicked and was a musical as was original Wizard of Oz. The focal point of the whole movie was what she
endure throughout life having green skin. Yes, I managed to get through the whole movie, but have to admit, it was a struggle. In the origianl Wizard of Oz there were
multiple individuals with different personalities and short comings. In Wicked, it was just one central individual with personality issues. Within the first 20 minutes
of the movie, one was convinced why she became a wicked witch! *smile*
That was our holiday season of 2024. We did not receive any snow this year for the holidays. I hurried to get the snow blower mounted on our John Deere X590 mower in
anticipation of this year's snow fall. We recieved a tiny skift of snow that quickly melted off within a few hours. We received 3.27in of rain fall in the month of
December 2024 of which only tiny amount was attributed to a skift of snow fall. I'm worried 2025 winter is going to be warmer than usual thus "bug kill" will be a minimum.
When you live in the county as we do, bug kill is a blessing keeping paper wasps and mosquito numbers down. I'll just have to stock up on bug spray next Spring. *smile*
That's about it for this entry. Sharon & I are doing as best as we can. Sharon has had a couple bad falls, the most recent she fractured her left wrist. Her doctor
gave her a wrist splint to wear to keep it immobile, but it is a struggle to encourage her to keep it on. When she takes it off, she bumps it causing her more pain. She's
better at keeping it on, but she's pretty stuborn when it causes her issues, it comes off.
With that, Sharon and I wish you all a safe and wonderful 2025. Pray that World War Three can be averted... *sigh*
