Leaving a challenging year behind and facing new optimism for a fulfilling 2025. Kathy has come a long way on her long road to recovery from her stroke last August. One more operation to address collateral damage caused by a necessary change to her meds will happen in mid-January. We expect a period of convalescence and hope for some normalcy in our lives come the spring.
Some thoughts, not in any particular order with regard to importance timing or priority:
Follow-up and completion of unfinished household projects, particularly the ground floor bathroom.
We will start looking in earnest for a new place to live. A smaller easier living arrangement.
Some travel is planned to Arkansas in March for a White House Fellows gathering and to Arizona in August for a high school reunion. We will otherwise be welcoming visits by family and friends.
We are anxious for America and indeed the world as a new political wind blows.
