"Today is a Good Day to Drive!" .....Van-Go

Another year has passed and we start off this new year with anew house and a new van. We are blessed with new friends and our health, family that love us and new adventures to pursue. Wishing you and your the very best this year. Hugs all around.

I would say we ate well when we were with Justin in Hawaii in May/June! Yea, I know, Coffee isn't a meal. But coffee is a good way to start the day! Enjoyed a beer from time to time. Red wine is good with a meal too. But mostly we have water with meals; Will likes a squirt of sweet lemon in his.
