As 2017 comes to a close, it is time to reflect on the events of the year.
I have chosen a couple of photos from each month to share.
January 2017
Hubby and I saw the New Year in at home...
Lobster Tails, Hasselback Potatoes, and Salad.
Teaching Family and Consumer Science at CHS
consumed most of my time and energy.
February 2017
We took advantage of sales to replace the appliances in our kitchen.
We renewed our friendship with this special couple
at the SD Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Wine and Cheese Tasting Event.
March 2017
My daily routine included an early alarm,
a quick stop at the supermarket for lab supplies,
and setting up at school before the students arrive.
We adopted Jasmine, a senior cat that had been looking
for her forever home for three years.
April 2017
Hubby's band, Precious Cargo, was inducted into the
South Dakota Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Their band opened the concert...
and received a standing ovation!
Meanwhile, at home,
Jasmine and Lucy were getting to know each other.
May 2017
We broke ground on the garage additon project.
We celebrated my retirement after 38 years of teaching.
June 2017
More celebrating with our friends, Alan and Kari,
when their daughter, Ashley and Logan were married.
And celebrating again, two weeks later, when Bob and Paula's
daughter, Megan and Dylan were married.
July 2017
Our daughters and husbands came home to visit family.
We spent time in Minneapolis and celebrated Jake's birthday
on the Fourth of July at a Twins game.
We all traveled home to spend a few days
with family and hometown friends here.
August 2017
This package came in our mail to announce
our first grandchild, due in March.
Hubby and I traveled to Colorado for his work conference
and to enjoy a little vacation time.
September 2017
We were able to secure tickets to watch the NDSU Bison play
at all but one of their home games.
The mancave was finished and we were able to enjoy tailgating
and watching our favorite baseball and football teams here.
October 2017
We stayed busy with our creations for Winterfest.
And we appreciated the cooler temperatures
and colors of Autumn.
November 2017
This year, another successful Winterfest.
I enjoyed a fabulous trip to Boston to visit Emily & Jake.
December 2017
We all love the warm glow of Christmas lights.
We spent our holidays with hubby's mom and sister.
We enjoy the time we spend with family
and our friends.
We are Blessed.
Take care,
~Natalie
