Happy New Year!!
To loyal fans who are more loyal than I!! I have taken the lazy road lately and have failed to blog. I see, though, that folks around the world are still checking in on me! Thank you!

I do have a problem, but a good one to be resolved soon. I have upgraded my phone from an Iphone 4 to an Iphone 7. I am spending a lot of time learning how to use it. And most of the time having fun with that. In fact I just volunteered at a convention this past weekend and used the QR app to record the number of attendees in a particular workshop! I felt part of the in-crowd.
My problem is that I can't transfer my pictures from the phone to my computer. I was suppose to go in today to have someone help me with that but I didn't have time.
I thought a quick review of major events of 2018 might be a great way to start out this new year. It was a difficult year in many ways, but also a memorable one.

2018 has past into history. I relish the fun days and memories while appreciating that Jesus has brought me through the difficult times. Now on to the new unknown adventures of 2019!
(One is coming up quite soon! You all come back and find out.)
This has been a good, several "but first" days in the life of Grandma G.
