Beginning a new year....

Rabbit, rabbit!๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿ‡Here we are....the first day of a new month, and the first day of a new year!  Have you made any preparations for 2018?

Here are a few things I have ready....

A dear friend surprised me with "Devotions from the Front Porch" as a Christmas gift! This book has already been a blessing to me.

It just isn't the same unless I have Susan Branch's current calendar displayed on the wall, and the notepad she designed helps get me through many responsibilities!

I have also found that a daily planner is an absolute necessity!  So - with these "tools" at hand, this coming year should be off to a great beginning!

First, though.....

Black-eyed peas and collard greens are at the top of that list that never has been made for today! Oops! Needing to remember that those "tools" are handy!

I send wishes for a Happy New Year to each of you!

  1. Happy New Year to you,Nellie! Our housekeeper has notebooks and organizational tools at the ready, too. It makes her happy. It makes a cat like me nervous. :)

  3. Happy New Year, Nellie. Usually my dd gets me the Susan Branch calendar but didn't this year. I will look tomorrow to see if I can find one. I have two places where we keep calendars so have one up but hope I can find the SB one, too!

    I love the south with the collard greens and black eyed peas. Yuo cannot find collards anywhere here in our area...except in a can and you know how slimy those things are! ugh

    Happy New Year to you and many blessings. xo Diana

  5. Happy New Year, Sister! As you know, I'm not really so much into Susan Branch, although what I have seen of hers is quite lovely! I do have a special new calendar, which was sold as a fund-raiser by the elementary department of our church's school, and it's really beautiful, with Scripture on each page of gorgeous photos! I use mine to keep track of our MANY medical appointments, and it works very well for us. Hope you've had a beautiful day, although I know it is really COLD where you are! Love you!

  6. Happy New Year Nellie! It's been so lovely getting to know you. A Susan Branch calendar is a must here too! This year, I also have a Lang folk art one.
