Needless to say, when I drop everything, I literally drop everything. 😆 I'm beyond certain some people will see this and freak out. Not G. I love a good amount of confetti foolery. Life is about living and living deserves daily celebrations. I may just pop another popper just because I can. 🥳

Believe it or not, but Mr. Jack does enjoy a bottle of champagne from time to time. This Ice Imperial Rose is quite a delight and is best served on ice. As I get ready for the third season of Let's Wine A Little, I'll be investigating more champagnes, wines and other spirits.

This Monday Message challenge is to review your list of aspirations (or dreams) and consider the steps you need to take to bring those dreams to life. Let the joy of living that dream move you to make the decisions and take the steps to make it a reality.

Well, the party has come to an end. Yeah....I hit the mark on walking around all this confetti and watching it travel ALL OVER THE HOUSE. Didn't grab the vacuum immediately. I had to grab the broom and then follow up with a vacuum.

Now the confetti outside will just have to be outside. 😆
