Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone.  Today is the first day of 2012!   I wonder what this year will hold for me and my family.  I’m trying not to have any preconceived expectations because this year will inevitably be a year of change.  But as Price Pritchett said, “Change always comes bearing gifts” and I do [...]

Twenty Six and Counting

Today Marshall and I celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary. You know how holidays and special days go — some rate higher than others.  For example, for our 20th Anniversary we flew to England where we stayed  in a beautiful hotel and explored the city of York.  Now that was pretty awesome and quite frankly it’s [...]
