December days continued to roll by, and with them, more adventures by the day. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

I thought it might be fun to start working on a few new songs on the ole’ instruments. I had a little project in mind for these songs….<\/p>\n

Continuing on with trying new things, I found a strand of purple lights down in the basement and thought I’d hang them up in my bedroom. Jess was thrilled! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

The next new adventure came on New Year’s Eve. I learned to play Texas Hold’Em Poker.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t expecting to like it.<\/p>\n

It was so much fun!!!<\/p>\n

I’ve been working on some piano actions:<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

And getting to hold the cute little squishy adorable baby nephew:<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Now, the nephew needed some new pictures, and my brother and sister-in-love needed their piano tuned, which meant I got to have a rather fun workday. My real job is flexible enough for me to work from my brother’s house, so, I packed up the laptop, tuning tools and camera, and headed out!<\/p>\n

In progress:<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

I really enjoyed taking photos of the aforementioned cute and squishy baby nephew. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

The next order of business was Elvis Presley’s birthday. I don’t have any photos of me rocking out to the Elvis tunes, unfortunately. I’ll have to do better next year. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Next, it was time to get the 4-H on! I took the kids to Columbiana for their first Livestock Quizbowl and Skill-a-thon. I still have my 4-H shirt from when I went and participated in a 4-H day when I was younger, so, I embarrassed the kids to death by wearing the aforementioned shirt when I went to drop them off. BEST BIG SISTER EVER!!! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

I got to hang out with them until it was time for them to head back to their dorms, which meant I got to stick around for the campfire. It was SO MUCH FUN!! I have a few ideas tucked away now for the next time we have a campfire. Sitting under the stars though…I’m overwhelmed. Our creator-God is so amazing. To know that He created each star and put it into place is absolutely amazing. <3 We were out in the middle of nowhere Alabama, so all of the stars were super-clear and just gorgeous. \n\n

Since all the kids were at camp, our normal chicken feeding crew was “afc”….away from coop. \ud83d\ude00 This meant that it was my turn to feed the chickens. Did I mention that this was my first time ever to feed them??<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

It was also my first time to put them all away. A nice big rainstorm moved in right while I was getting them put up. I was very thankful for my big, waterproof flashlight!<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

All in all, late December and early January were definitely getting off to a “hopping” start, and there’s more to come soon! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
