Cindy at "My Romantic Home" is hosting a "Year in Review" party, so I've decided to attend. This is my first year blogging from French Lique and I've enjoyed sharing Ricky's and my little escapades. I've decided to pick one photo from each month for my year in review... which is not quite a year yet... but hey... who's counting.... right? If you'd like to look back with me and read the accompanying post, just click on the name of the month, and you will be transported in time.A year in review... right here in French Lique...
In May, I introduced French Lique to the world... well... the blogger world anyway...

In June, we adopted Roxy (left) and Pepper (black poodle) from a local no kill shelter. Pepper went to our youngest daughter in Dallas. Roxy is ours and we love her. They cost a little more than anticipated once we had everything done... but they were well worth the expense. Precious (right) loves them, especially Roxy, her new sister!
In July, some smuck broke in to our home to steal our new TV, but thanks to the heroics of my brother-in-law, Ernie... they only got away with my jewelry... All of my jewelry... I was sad, but God said, "it was just stuff"... and I felt better... still miss wearing some of those pieces though!
In August we celebrated my LOVE of Brussels Sprouts! I like blogging about eating food... not cooking it... just eating it!
In September, Ricky finally finished restoring the old lawn tractor he purchased on eBay. The same tractor that created the December road trip!
In October, the debates were at the top of my list... my confusion list... I didn't like either one of these guys! I was so glad when the elections were over!
In November, there was so much going on! I got very prolific in my postings and put up nearly one post per day. My favorite... when I finally began my home office declutter project. To start; the desk. I've begun to "reclutter" now... I think there's a New Year's Resolution here somewhere!
The first part of December, we had snow in south Texas!
But the very best part of December this year, was that I got to see my sister the week of Christmas... thanks once again to that darn lawn tractor!A short walk down Memory Lane, my first year posting from French Lique...
PS... you're invited back for the first Wordless Wednesday celebration next week!
Oh my--this my first visit to your blog and when I saw the pic of the AC lawn mower I stopped fast. We had a mower like that for years. It ran like a top all the time we were living on a small farm. I mowed our 2 acre pasture w/ it!! It was kind of sad when it finally quit and we passed it on to an uncle who loves to putter w/ things. Now he is working on it, maybe it will be running again.
ReplyDeleteHEy...brussel sprouts! YEAh~! I love them
ReplyDelete(and i am so with you on the cooking versus the eating) LOL
Hallie - I hope you linked to the post about the restoration. There are before and after pics there. I have an amazing hubby... a perfectionist. Thanks for stopping by!

oh.. I didn't discover Brussels Sprouts this year... in fact, 22 years ago when pregnant with my youngest I ... er... we ate them every day for 9 months...
ReplyDeleteThis year, I just enjoyed talking about eating them and the bounty of our garden.
Thanks for stopping by Donna Marie!
Dixie, it was fun to see how the last several months of blogging was for you! Sweet doggies! I too, love brussel sprouts! I am a weird eater, I like to put them on top of my speghetti! I know..it is strange. I am sorry to hear about your jewelry situation though..that makes me sad and mad. You had a great outlook though. It really is just "stuff". I am wishing you and your hubby a wonderful New Year ahead! ~Cheryl

I love your photos. The brussel sprouts for me are so typical Dutch. We eat them here all over the winter.

It's such a great feeling to adopt a pet isn't it? Yours are adorable. Happy 2009!
