Looking back on 2014

Looking back on 2014, I figured that the last post for the year should be in true Bartnick style. I decided  to do it like we Bartnicks do...in pictures.

This is very picture heavy just an FYI. Grab a warm mug of whatever you enjoy, scroll thru all of them at your leisure, and I hope that at least one of these pictures puts a smile on your face and warmth in your heart. 

We spent time with loved one we hold dear

...and Besties that brought us cheer.

We watched sunrises on the road...

and got to go somewhere COLD! ( Lake Superior)

I got to hike with the hubbs...

and freeze my tush off up above!
