Well friends, Happy New Year! I hope 2013 finds you all happy and healthy and brings to each of us many blessings throughout the year! 

2012 brought many ups and downs for our family.  The taking on a job that was far too stressful for me, and then having to leave that job and admit it was too much for me.  Being given the opportunity to stay at home - where I belong.  The engagement of our daughter to a very nice man - and the planning of their wedding.  Our youngest daughter graduating from high school and starting college - dorm life! Moving my middle daughter back from St Paul from university to home where she found a better fit in a university close to home.  The loss of our precious Farnsworth, our 12 year old Wire Haired Fox Terrier. Meeting our son's wonderful girlfriend when she came to spend the summer with us from London.  My mother's wedding this summer to Phil, whom I have grown to love.  Actual visits from family out East.  Moving my sister in law here, when no one else in the family would offer her any assistance... and seeing her and her boyfriend with jobs, living on their own with a little money in the bank.  The closing of my small occasional shop, when my partner took a full time job and was unable to dedicate enough time to it.  The planning of what to do next.... oh the possibilities!

One of my resolutions for 2013 is to be much better about attending to my blog and giving it the daily attention that I promised myself I would!

I'll be back on Monday with some great ideas! Can't wait!

Many Blessings!
