  13. Welcome back from your break, Colleen! I hope you got some good rest. I love your new kitchen photos of before and after on Facebook! I may not write poetry every week but I’ll try to do more this year! Happy New Year to you and your family!

    1. Happy New Year, Miriam to you and your family. Yes, choose which challenges you want to do and jump in whenever you can. I hope the prompts will inspire everyone to create. I’m still getting situated with the new kitchen. I still have touch up painting and caulking to do… I’m getting there. It was a huge project and our contractor did an excellent job. Hugs and hope to see more of you. ❤

      1. Happy New Year to you and your husband, Colleen! Do you have to remodel any other parts of your home or the kitchen only?

        Kitchen is important because we spend a lot of time in it everyday. We had ours remodeled 15 years ago, after living in it for more than 10 years. Got new refrigerator. During the remodeling, we did the cooking in the bathroom and ate in the living room. Our kitchen still looks nice but we just replaced the refrigerator because some part went wrong and it didn’t keep cold.

        I like your new prompts. They allow so much flexibility and still keep the syllabus forms.

  19. Hey, Colleen. Hello, everyone. Happy New Beginnings. So glad to be able to join with the very first prompt of the year. The first snow that graced us all day today gave me the inspiration for posting here today. The first of anything is Hatsu___ in Japanese. And since it’s the first snow that accumulated, I called it Hatsuyuki (yuki:snow). It’s ordinary moments like these that light me up, so, I’m sharing my day and pics with you all as well. May 2022 by your best. ((hope all the work on the house went fine, and that your fur babies are all well.)) Thanks for all you do. xoxo, I wish you miracles.
