Tonight's final FU from 2021
We have lost Betty White just 18 days shy of her 100th birthday.
IKR???
Finished out the holidays with John at Almost Home Tea-Room...where the place was resplendent with decorated Christmas trees.
They have the BEST of everything. Though the appetizer left us pondering just exactly how healthy green beans can be after they are breaded and boiled in oil.
...I think we reached the consensus that we don't really care...lol...
Later that night he sent photos back of the bed SANTA sent to Gadget.
It seems she approves!
Did manage a film this week.
Which, as Spider-Man movies go, was actually pretty entertaining!
If you are a SM fan...you will love this.
The CGI alone is worth the price of admission.
Really great.
So without further ado...let's revisit this year...
In January we got a bright shiny new President...which was great.
Also an attempted coup by the former guy and his followers....
We also started the 2021 Virtual Adventure...all of the Countries in Africa. To be fair we got to most of them...but not all..Africa is a huge continent.
We had snow.
We also had a third and 4th wave of Covid.
We watched the GOAT (Brady) best The Kid (Mahomes) in the Superbowl.
And we watched as Trump once again was acquitted in his second impeachment hearings.
sigh
We made time for monthly real-life Adventures and Escapes!
And celebrated our third year back together at the Indianapolis Zoo and in Avon.
The warm summer and rains gave me the nicest patio garden this year.
The hummingbirds loved all the pink!
Tried Mbege (millet and banana beer) and many traditional dishes from all over Africa.
Which was exotic and delicious.
We lived through the re-emergence of the 17 year cicadas...
...they were everywhere...
and deafening!
We found out the answer to how much time we have left...not a lot....and lost Gail to CHF and Deanne to Hypoxia and organ failure...and losing Brenda to cancer currently.
sigh
Finished Africa in Egypt- which was perfect. The pyramids, temples, Nile and Sahara...what's not to love??
Had a month long celebration of Christmas with Family and Friends.
Now, here we are...ready for bubbly... cheese and crackers...fresh fruit...and ringing in the New Year!
See Everybody Next Year!
Love,
Carla & Sofi
