Bring on 2012

Lets see, I'm hoping 2012 is better than 2011...I don't want to say "it can't get any worse" because it always does get worse. September and October last year were the worst month's of my life, except for maybe November of 1997 when mother died. We wanted to just crawl in a hole and stay there. But, we got through it, we had help from awesome children,and a couple of very special friends,as well as Heavenly Father, who we needed big time. All I can say is I NEVER want to go through any thing like this again for as long as I live!!!

The BEST part of our year was enjoying the arrival of 2 new beautiful granddaughters. Being able to hold them soon after their birth meant the world to us! We don't get to see them near enough, but we are blessed with 18 of the most wonderful grandchildren ever.

Thanksgiving was fun,Maxine and Mark and family came down,and we so much enjoyed having them come and visit for a few days. Mark is so good to help us out with installing our new t.v. and fixing our computer problems. We wished they could come more often! Harley really loved having them here,they played with him nonstop while they were here, he was sad when they left. We love just getting to hang out with them and sit and talk and get caught up with what's going on in their lives.

As most of you know dad and Dockie are moving, we have gone to Alamo with them a couple of times to help them get things ready for the big move. It makes me so sad, another thing that has caused me to cry and feel picked on...an d it isn't even me that's being picked on. I guess I just need to get use to the idea that they are leaving and live with it! It doesn't mean I have to like it though. Annette and Gary are awesome to let them move in their basement, I guess we'll be traveling to Alamo a lot more now. It's about the same distance as going from here to Elsinore,so when I need a family fix i guess those are the 2 closest family members I can get to,Nadine's or Annette's.

We get to start a new job this week...we are cleaning the St.George Library on Thurs,Fri, and Sat. nights. It will help us to have some extra cash to be able to do a little bit of something I guess. So the New year is starting...we were happy to get to start it off with dad and Dockie, they came over and we had dinner and played cards it was fun,dad and Jeff beat me and Dockie big time ,but it was still fun!

So here's to wishing everyone a super great year!!!!
