Words for 2024
My first word is travel as I am leaving in January for Thailand, Singapore and Australia. I will be traveling for 16 days:)
Family
Son and his Wife
Granddaughter and her fiancé
My FH (someone asked once what FH stood for ... it is a nickname which will remain personal) :)
Friends
A man who fights for the working class in our country ...
These are my active friendships here at home. I have many more friends from my past that I am still in contact with, but we don't see each other often. And then, of course there are my blogging friends, one of which I will be meeting in Australia and others that I hope to meet with sometime in the future :)
Last but not least, the year 2024 is an election year here in the USA. An election that is tearing our country apart between ...
Joe Biden
and a man who would be king (so much for democracy :( )
I don't doubt that as soon as I post this I will think of many other words that fit the occasion, but for now this is it ...

My kids did that trip last year! They really enjoyed it.
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
I lOVE most of your words for the year. Election not so much. And I mourn that we will not connect while you are in Australia.
Lovely portrait photos of family and friends. Impressive that your daughter works with white tigers. Have a very happy New Year.
Enjoy your travel Andrea! Happy New Year! Enjoyed your family photos! Fair Husband?
Sound like lovely trip.
Happy travels, Andrea. Give my regards to Singapore, my favourite city in the whole world. David
...Andrea, what a trip. I wish you safe travels.
Your words are excellent and so is your art. I wish you safe travels!
What a wonderful trip ahead of you, Andrea! Singapore is one of my favorite places in the world, although it has changed a lot since I was there. And I am in love with all things Australian. At first I thought that you might be meeting up with Sue (Elephant's Child), but I saw in the comments that wasn't the case. I don't have a word zeroed in on for the year, but I will chose it for my next post. Wishing you lots of adventures and may you catch no cruddy bugs! Hugs to you!
Travel is definitely your word at least for January! It's going to be great Andrea! Lovely photos of the family!
Dear Andrea, I'm so sorry, I came too late to wish you a safe trip! I always need so much time to do my blog rounds or to visit everyone who has left me comments and kind wishes and it took me until today before I got to your blog... Your comments to me are always so lovely and most welcome, and I don't just want to leave you with a two-liner 🥰
First of all, I wish you a wonderful time traveling and with your family. (By the way, I was the one - or one of them - who wanted to know what FH means. I now agree with myself on Fabulous Husband, whatever FH means to you both 😉.) You show many beautiful family and friendship photos - that speaks for a fulfilled life. I also saw in your most recent post that you had a very creative, talented mother - the talents are obviously in your genes.
You have similar concerns as I do about this year's elections. There are important elections not only in the USA, but also in Russia and some other countries, as well as here in Austria. And as always, I hope for miracles that can stop the dangerous lurch to the right...
Let's talk about less scary topics: You mentioned the beautiful gingerbread cookies that my friend created for her daughter. True, they are just too pretty to eat, but I think you can just let them dry and preserve them that way for a while. My daughter, who originally was trained as a pastry chef, also made me beautiful gingerbread stars with blue icing, which I used as Christmas decorations. They lasted for some years, but at some point one of our cats brought a mouse into the house, lost it and the mouse tried (successfully!) to survive in our house by nibbling the gingerbread 😂! (We then caught it with a live mouse trap and released it into the wild - but the stars were damaged...)
Come back from your trip healthy!!!
I wish you and everyone you love (humans and animals) a happy, healthy and peaceful New Year 🍄🍀!
All the best, Traude
