Good morning, ladies!
Good morning, gentlemen!
2004 was a good year for me. My beloved husband is still with me and seems to be doing pretty well after three heart attacks in 02 & 03. Best of all, however, was the safe arrival from Heaven of my first and only grandchild. Emma, was six weeks early and her Momma almost didn't make it, but they pulled through and both are fine and healthy. And miracles of all miracles, my son turns out to be a great father (who would have thought?). I'm thankful to be extremely healthy at 71 and still able to hold a job. My prayers for the new year are: Peace on earth. Knowledge of the Living God by the whole world and a turning to him. Restoration for the broken people of SE Asia. Good health for everyone according to God's will.
Personally, I will go back on my Atkin's Diet when all the leftover goodies are gone from the house (LOL). Really, I will. I've gained 5 lbs. God bless us all.
2004 was the best year we have had as a family.
We started homeschooling, the girls danced at Comerica park (I was picked to be mom of the game), we got to join Daddy in Orlando for a homeland security conference and go to the parks, we went to Mackinaw Island, the Soo and Cereal City.
But by far the event that stands out was meeting Laura Bush and having her tell the girls how pretty they looked. A lady took a picture but never sent it to us. I wrote Mrs. Bush and she sent pictures to both of the girls.
The win in November was just the topping on the cake!!!!
Thank You God for all of our blessings!

I wish everyone here Health, Peace, Happiness, and Prosperity in 2005!! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Grellis and all! We're getting ready for my son and his family to join us tomorrow. Our daughter was ill last weekend, so we postponed our Christmas celebration to this weekend. Gave me more time to shop! Whoohoo!
I didn't make any resolutions last year - admire anyone who can keep them. Plan to try to do some stretching exercises every morning this year. My joints feel better when I do - don't know why I don't keep it up!
We left this morning before the coffee klatch started..........on a shopping expedition.....my favorite kind of shopping, we drove 50 miles to go to my favorite bookstore!!!!!
I do look both backward and forward on this night. I try to not think of the not so pleasant of the past year and look toward the good and great things that can come in the new year.
I do want to take this time to thank all of the new FRiends I've met at the Family table and let you all know I'm looking forward to lots more interesting and informative times in the new year.
Happy New Year all.
Happy New Year Grellis! Thanks for the thread. My in-laws were visiting yesterday, and my brother-in-law was on my computer a lot. I didn't get to freep.
I'm hoping this next year is better than last year. My brother died and my dad has been in and out of the hospital. Unfortunately, I'm worried that my dad won't last much longer.
Anyway, my goal is to be happy and enjoy life. It may sound simple, but the past few months have been difficult. I've felt guilty when I've had fun. I don't think my brother would like that, so I'm going to have fun with my family this next year and enjoy the good gifts that God has given us.
