Classic or Traditional?

These are the kinds of heavy duty questions that I try to avoid at all costs these days. I was just making a last minute purchase on New Year’s Eve for a quart of egg nog and I am confronted with this. And it is from the same dairy, really guys? Classic or Traditional? I’m glad I wasn’t on some mind expanding drug or I would have been staring at that til the store closed.

Hopefully our new year will have components that are more clear cut than that. Yea, the new year, here we are! Happy New Year everyone! We made it! So many great greetings and salutations from all over the world are coming in! It started with a FB post from Angela in Australia and continued time zone after time zone. So many happy cheery faces ready to tackle 2021.

One of the most important things to remember about 2021 is the big Raven Ranch party in August. So if you haven’t already, then mark it down on your brand new calendar, that’s the 20th-23rd. There, no muss no fuss. We will all be ready to go by then. OK, I’m placing the order for the seed corn🌽. That’s Sugar Buns, Bodacious and Golden Jubilee. Oh yum!

There is a rumor around that I am changing the Veranda name this year. I would like to say that yes I am working on a new name, something that is more appropriate for this year and what we have been through. The name Veranda was good, awesome really. And then last year we had the Corntine which reflected the reality of the quarantine. So, this year’s has a new name to try and capture the feel of what August 2021 will be like.

all new yummy loves, Felipé.

  1. Unless they are in Russia and their New Year is yet to come, the 8th of January if I recall?I always think that the real new year is on the solstice,22nd December in 2020.tomorrow,2nd, the Earth is as close as it’ll be to the sun so unpack your shorts and t shirt!

    1. Kevan ~ I conveniently forget about all the other New Year’s in the world. That’s me, I confess. What to do? Well, I will put that on my to-do list to straighten out. But I like the part about getting out the T-shirts and shorts, that seems easy. And here we are Kevan, made it to 2021! Well done dude! Felipé.

  2. Hi Phil and Everyone,
    Happy New Year! We hope and pray for a year of hope and healing! We have the August dates on our calendars and would love to be there if at all possible.

    Here in Montana the weather has been unusually mild.. We took a walk on the rimrocks above Billings–our camino training ground for many years. It felt good to be outside and walking. We dared to hope and dream of our next visit to Spain.

    Blessings to all. . .Susan and Curt

    1. Susan and Curt ~ thanks so much and Happy New Year to you guys. That’s what we need, HOPE AND HEALING! Glad to hear you are hiking around the vicinity there. I had a great visit with Becky. She is lovely. I don’t know how much we can take credit for our kid’s goodness but you done good with her I could say.

      On a different note I would like to introduce you to a friend, Debra Jarvis. She is a chaplain at U of Washington. She writes a blog post twice a month for her church blog. Here it is: http://www.universityucc.org . Check it out when you have a chance.

  3. Are you counting me eating corn for 40 days, right? Ensure there are enough seeds for that!!!

    1. Cris ~ there will be plenty to feed you, don’t you worry! You will be working hard with all the projects I am going to think up for you and you will have a tremendous appetite and you will sleep well. How’s that? Felipé.x

      1. Too much medical readings, right?! Vassal!!! Or vessel too, actually, I also feel a recipient filling up with your wisdom, generosity and friendship!

        Today is the epiphany day… a good day to remind that we have been following a star!
        Love
        Cris
