Tomorrow is 2018. Today is a chance for me to look back at few favorites from 2017.
Reporter interrupted by his children. The reporter is talking about serious stuff like North Korea and then his children interrupt him. I laugh and laugh every time I see it.
Dark Chocolate Covered Peppermint Joe-Joe's from Trader Joe's. I've only had two of them but I am certain that I could easily get addicted. Luckily they are only available during the holidays.

Outlander, we will finish season 3 tonight
7. Favorite wedding (Well, only wedding but it was so fun and lovely):
Samantha and Basti's wedding. She's my niece.

ReplyDeleteThank you. Happy New Year to you and yours!
DeleteIan is gorgeous! Enjoy! It seems like just the other day that my two first grandsons were born...they are now 22.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed my daughter's wedding on the beach in April...what fun!
I've heard good things about One-in-a-Million Boy.
Happy New Year! Thanks for visiting my blog.
Yes, we think Ian is gorgeous, too. And such a little man. Happy New year!
DeleteWhat a wonderful recap of a wonderful year, Anne! You're inspiring me to do something similar :) I LOVED that BBC reporter's video and still laugh like crazy every time I see it - Ellen's play-by-play made it even funnier.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have good news for you....those chocolate covered Joe Joe's? The peppermint is just ONE of FOUR types they have! Also available only at the holidays, a 4-pack round box with 4 different kinds of chocolate covered Joe Joes - each with dif cookies and different chocolate toppings. They are called Trader Joe's and the Astounding Multi-Flavor Joe Joe's - also available only for the holidays so make a note!

I haven't heard of your favorite book yet - will have to look for that one.
Sounds like you had a good year - here's to a happy 2018!

Dang. I was hoping you would say that those chocolate covered Joe-Joes are going to be discontinued. Now I will have to eat more in the future. thanks for the tip! Ha!
DeleteThe video of the reporter has become almost mythical in our family. When my daughter wants a for-sure laugh, she walks like that four year old. The other day she was doing her exercises with her arms up the same way. I love it.
What a lovely favorite's list! I haven't watched Outlander, but maybe it's a series I need to try out.
