Year End 2008
Here we are wrapping up a Great 2008!! The Holidays were extra special this year as all of my children made it home to celebrate. We were especially excited that Dan and his wife Erika could join us from Madrid, Spain. Dan’s twin sister, Carolyn and her husband Joe also flew in from sunny Arizona to our bitter midwest Christmas. Lots of snow and below zero weather for our fair weather kids to enjoy ! Kristen, my eldest, and her spouse Larry and beautiful grandchildren Sydne ( 8 yr ) and Preston ( 3 yr ) made our holiday complete. How fortunate that we could share this time together ! As we approach the new year, one can’t help but reflect on the happenings of 2008 & all that we are grateful for. I cherish my health and happiness, my family & friends and my passion to give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. Looking toward 2009 with great expectations of all the lives I can touch through my work , my leisure and my education.
