Celebration 2022: Johnson Family Reunion

The family had a reunion back in Ohio this past July. I got to have some one-on-one time with my 98 year old mother. 


 Got to eat some yummy mid-western barbeque. 


All of this was thanks to my cousin Dwight who did all the work.

Celebrations 2022: Choir

 The end of August was our church choirs first post-COVID performance. It was great to get back to singing in person again. 



Since then I haven't been singing regularly with the choir, but have continued my lessons to rebuilding my voice.

Celebrations 2022:Anniversary

This year we celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary.  


With COVID restrictions lifted we wanted to have a party with our friends. So we met at an exceptional Italian restaurant called Parma in a nearby town.

The Year 2022 in Review: Celebrations

 The next series of blog entries will showcase our celebrations from 2022. We start at the end of the year, with Christmas, and then work back to the summer.



Despite multiple health complications this fall I wanted to have a tree this year. So we got one of the neighbor kids to help us and got it up at the last minute. 


Christmas day dinner is traditionally prime rib and this year was no exception.


We invited other friends and family to the dinner, but it ended up being more intimate with just the two of us. Hoping you had a happy holiday too!
