The Archies: 2017

       The Archies 2017

With a new year comes the wrapping up of the old one.  It's that time again: time to reflect upon a year gone by and what we did during that year.  It's time again for The Archies!  This idea came from Donna and it's something I've really enjoyed doing.  It's basically a list of my 50 favorite things from the year.  Every year you compile a list, you add an additional item, so I'm now up to 58!  See also 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013,  2012, and 2011.  Okay, here we go....
