Bye-Bye 2025!....... NW Cascade Wanderings

The clock is ticking on 2025!

In my time zone, we have just a few hours until 2025 is no more. For some of you, it’s already done and gone and you’ve moved into 2026!

This year marks the 45th anniversary of my husband’s and my ‘blind date’! Yep-you heard right-blind date! Well, needless to say it stuck, but this has always made New Year’s Eve special for us. 😍

It does beg the question-where does the time go and why does it seem like it was just yesterday? Maybe someday, we will understand the mysteries of time, but for now, we will just have to ponder it.

I’m off work for today and tomorrow, so the day had no schedule. On our way to a coffee date, we stopped at the clinic to deliver and set up the replacement de-humidifier. Once that was done, we set out to Lynden to our favorite Starbucks for some refreshment.

Then, with points I’d accumulated at Safeway, filled up the car with a $.50 discount per gallon of gas! Score! Then, inside the store for a couple of goodies to round out this evening with, and headed for home to spend the last few hours of 2025 together.

The Amazon truck left me a new toy today!

It is a USB diffuser that vaporizes water and essential oils into the air! It’s made to look like a flame and it sure does, especially in a dark room! I purchased this for work because of residual flood odors that are lingering. It is very cool! 😎

As for my kitties; Cyle is being a sleepy one, and Cot-well Cot is Cot, lol!

We are settling in for a quiet evening. We do have a bottle of bubbly for a midnight toast. 🥂

My steps for the day:

NKJV Matthew 2:19-23

Now when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the young Child’s life are dead.” Then he arose, took the young Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.
But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the region of Galilee. And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, “He shall be called a Nazarene.”
