The end of the year is here, and I still have not wished you all a Merry Christmas!! So,
Christmas is always a busy time for us, as it is for many, and this year was no exception. It always seems I have more on my “to do” list than I have time to accomplish. I greatly reduced my Christmas decorating this year – I had all my decorating done within 15 minutes of getting the box down. I do admit that I miss having a full size tree, and one of these years I will make the room to have one again (and it’ll be a real one!). Among my favorite decorations is this snowman, made by my father-in-law:
I think this year he will stay out until the end of winter, as it seems too soon to pack him away.
Since the new year will soon be here, it’s time to think about what I want to accomplish in 2008. Well, I’ve been thinking about it for a while, and have some ideas, but so far nothing is written down. Some time this week will be set aside to write those plans down, and I will post at least a few of those goals here.
I hope everyone has a very safe and happy evening today, no matter what your plans are.


Oh I say leave the snowman out! he is too cute to pack away yet! Happy New year and God’s blessings on you and yours!
