Five on Friday - December 29, 2023

Hello!  Hope you have survived Christmas with enough energy left to get through the new year.  We took a little trip to Orange Beach.  Just hearing the ocean and feeling the sun on our faces was a great way to reset and relax.  Now we're back and I'm ready to get back at it.  Let's start with my five for today ~

1.  Ferrari
Ferrari opened Christmas Day and it's definitely a movie we are looking forward to seeing.  I love Adam Driver and am excited to see him star in this film.  Here's the summary ~
Ferrari is set during the summer of 1957. Behind the spectacle and danger of 1950's Formula 1, ex-racer, Enzo Ferrari, is in crisis. Bankruptcy stalks the company he and his wife, Laura, built from nothing ten years earlier. Their tempestuous marriage struggles with the mourning for their one son. Ferrari struggles with the acknowledgement of another. His drivers' lust to win pushes them out to the edge. He wagers all in a roll of the dice on one race, the treacherous 1,000-mile race across Italy, the iconic Mille Miglia.
Our son and daughter-in-law gifted us the coolest puzzle.  The 2 Million Dollar Puzzle is a 500-piece puzzle that when put together is a QR code.  Scan the QR code to see what dollar prize you won!  I'm so excited to get this puzzle together and see what our prize will be.  Everyone wins something.  Winnings are between $1 and $1,000,000!  If you're thinking this would be a fun gift for yourself or someone else, keep in mind that the last day to scan your code is February 28, 2024.  We are going to start our puzzle this weekend!

3.  2024 Total Solar Eclipse
Guess what's happening in 2024 - a total solar eclipse!  That's right, on April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America.  Safety is important when viewing a total solar eclipse so plan ahead.  Get your safety glasses now before they are totally sold out.

Need some luck in 2024?  Black-eyed peas are considered to be a symbol of good luck and prosperity if eaten on New Year's Day.  Our favorite recipe that includes black-eyed peas is Texas Caviar.  We love making this dip and having it with tortilla chips.  The recipe is available HERE.  Whip up a batch and see how much good luck comes your way next year!


5.  Hmmm...


Have a great weekend and start to the new year.  2024 is going to be awesome!
