On the Porch
Onisha Ellis
I’m late with my Happy New Year post. I even had a graphic made in advance..
The days since Christmas seem to have flown. We are heading to Florida for the winter so along with putting away Christmas decorations, I have been busily preparing the house for winter. Sadly, although I know I have cleaned bathrooms and floors, and picked up bits, the house doesn’t look tidy. Oh well, I still have some time before our move. I may even get around to tidying up the closet.
I hope this busyness isn’t an omen for 2021, unless of course, it is a sign that life in 2021 will be filled with happy, busy days, loving my family and my Savoir!


After my retirement, I decided to re-learn the canning and preserving skills I learned from my mother but hadn’t practiced for twenty years. I titled the blog Old Things R New to chronicle my experience. Since then I have been blessed to have six other bloggers join me, DiVoran Lites, Bill Lites, Judy Wills, Louise Gibson, Janet Perez Eckles and Melody Hendrix
In addition to blogging, I work as the publicist/marketer/ amateur editor and general “mom Friday” for my author daughter, Rebekah Lyn. I also manage her website, Rebekah Lyn Books where we frequently host the best in up and coming authors.
My 2020 goal is to use my love of photographs and words to be an encourager on social media. You can visit Real Life Books and Media You Tube Channel if you would like to view some of the mini-videos I have created for our church, Gateway Community in Titusville, Fl.
Lovely post. I’m looking forward to seeing you after you settle in.
