Happy New Year!!

Well, it's the new year and I can't believe how time flies.
We have visitors coming soon. Our daughter will be here in two weeks and my brother is coming back for the third year in a row.
The first two years here we would ask people to bring "stuff" down that we thought we needed.
My poor brother hauled down solar panels and a telescope plus little stuff like lint brushes and listerine with him and helped paint the roof and put on the solar panels.... hot water!!! His idea of a good time is working on our house. How perfect.
This year we have racked our brains to think of stuff we need from the states. Turns out we don't really need anything. We are learning to do without. We are just grateful to have water service and electricity.
The only thing I could think I NEEDED is Plax pre- brushing rinse. I really really miss that!
Well, I am speaking for myself. My husband really really needs a Home Depot down here but that's a bit too much to ask, maybe someday.
My New year's resolution this year is to be grateful we have what we need.... food, water , current
Oh yeah , I really need a good juicy steak and a cold glass of 2% milk.
