A LOOK BACK...








Shhh..Sleeping Dog


Well, 2017 has come to a close.

 The Christmas decorations
 are sort of put away,
 tucked in with a few visions 
of what next Christmas might look like.

  Just can't help myself!

 The days are still sunny 
but not necessarily warm.
  The nights are becoming 
colder and colder 
and a few more quilts 
are added to our beds.

 A new year 
is a time for reflection 
of what came before
 but, also, 
for looking ahead 
to the hopes and dreams
 of what is to come.

  We all have our own special thoughts 
and, hopefully,
 they will be realized.

  But, 
for right now,
 let us just let
 sleeping dogs lie,
 and I hope you will enjoy 
taking one last look back
 with me 
to the top ten posts of 2017
 from
 Gold Country Cottage...
























































Our wish 
for you all 
is a 
Happy and Healthy
 New Year.



...Judy...

  1. Dear Judy, I enjoyed going through your previous posts, even thought I've read most of them before. We have sunshine this afternoon, but snow still on the ground. I send you wishes for a healthy and happy New Year as well.
    Hugs,

  3. Judy, I wish you the same for the new year. I loved seeing some of the hi-lites thru the past year. You home is always so inviting to me. I always like the porch and the gardens. Blessings to you and yours. Stay warm and safe. xoxo, Susie

  9. Happy New Year Judy! I missed some of these posts it seems, but I remember some as well. It's always interesting to look back isn't it? We can easily forget all that happened. That's one of the good things about blogging I feel.

    I definitely remember the stressful time with your daughter and her health. So glad that's behind you all.
