Hi Timi! What a wonderful post! A very Happy New Year to you as well! We're starting the year out with bitterly cold weather, though......unfortunately!!!
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

I really don't check my messages all that often, as I just don't have the time.....often delete many of them.........I just get behind with everything, and checking each and every one can be just so very time consuming.

Awwww, Kim, I'm so sorry to hear your granddaughter had to leave..........it sounds like you both had a wonderful time together.....the time always goes by way too fast, doesn't it? The photos are absolutely great, and she's a lovely young lady! Aren't these bitterly cold temperatures just horrible, though?

Good luck with school! My son also starts back tomorrow, as well, so I'll be driving again every day.....ughhhhh! Makes it worse, as it's so doggone bitterly cold....sure don't want to be out but guess I have no choice. That really makes it hard on instructors when they don't like/get along with other staff at a school.....my son has an instructor in programming who's the same way.....don't know why these colleges/universities have to make things so difficult!

Thanks so much, Lee! 2009 has been a devasting year for our family, for close, deep personal losses, and I hope that this new year will be much better! Yes....lately, I've been really clinging to all the wonderful memories I have of our wonderful friendship.....all the incredible times we had together.......we laughed together, cried together, had the best of times together. These can never, ever be taken from me but will always remain in my heart. Thanks ever so much for your kind words, I truly appreciate them so very much.

Oh Stacey, I absolutely LOVE pork and sauerkraut!!!! You are making me soooo hungry.....LOL!!!! Hubby also loves it, but the kid hates anything pork so I'm not able to make it very often. Aren't crockpots the greatest, though? I have three of them and wouldn't give them up for anything!
Happy New Year!
Oh.....we had pizza delivered last night for New Year's Eve....just stayed home, as it was bitterly cold outside!

Oh Barbara, how very, very beautiful and so touching......it brought tears to my eyes, my friend.....just a few days ago I lost my very best friend and our son's godmother......am having such a difficult time dealing with the loss.......the tears just won't stop coming. I can truly feel your loneliness, your sadness.........the loss of someone precious to us leaves a big hole in the heart, doesn't it?

We stayed at home also, as it was too bitterly cold to leave the house! I ordered pizza delivered from Domino's, and we pretty much did our own thing.....hubby in the bedroom watching t.v., kid played games on his computer, and I was over at Video Squares playing quite a bit of the night. Pretty boring but we just wanted to be safe at home!

Happy New Year, Jasper! What a wonderful testimony!!!! Just a few days ago, I lost my very best friend and our son's godmother..........sitting at my computer, and through my tears, thinking back through all the years, I have realized how blessed I and my family have been to have had her in our lives, as well as her husband. Both were very devout Christians so I know they're with the Lord......you know, sometimes I think we take our blessings for granted, don't you......not intentionally, of course.
Wow, 83 years, Jasper, that is so wonderful!!!!!! My favorite uncle lived to the wonderful age of 98.......he's now at home with the Lord.
Thanks for sharing so many wonderful posts through the year........you are a wonderful witness for the Lord and I am so glad to have you as a friend!

Happy New Year! It's a bummer not to be able to be on the computer..........it seems like there's always something to be done around the house, even though it's not fun.....LOL!!!!!!!

Happy New Year and hope that 2010 will be a much better year for you. We had three deaths of people very close to us so it's been a tough past year here as well.

Happy New Year! We all stayed home last night, ordered pizza from Domino's.....the kid and I played on our computers till almost midnight and then went to bed....I did watch "Forensic Files" a bit......very boring.
Sorry to hear about the problem with your oldest daughter.
