Really fun to look back on and jot down things that occurred thru out the year. Great idea! <br /><br />Chance is a great dog! And Happy New Year to you, too!

Every time someone says something like that to me I shudder...I'm tired of marketing 17 years of marketing has me exhausted, 10 more years of marketing and retail before the 17 makes me even tireder.<br /><br />Hoo ray for you in stopping smoking.

Hearing about the tough time you had smoking brought back some memories. Fourteen years ago I stopped after smoking over fifty years. It was a strange thing, I just quit, just quit. I think I had an angel on my shoulder, perhaps my Mom who was always after me about smoking.<br />Wishing you and your family a healthy and prosperous new year. <br />PamPamela Kiefferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10627605593041223171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-91535801252213746602011-12-31T09:46:13.674-06:002011-12-31T09:46:13.674-06:00I really like how you parallel all the years in re...I really like how you parallel all the years in retrospect. I didn't realize it was only 2008 when you had closed your greenhouse. You generally don't mention Far Guy's health much during the year so it's easy to forget his chronic pain. So sorry he has to deal with it and the way it affects your lives.<br />It has indeed been a pleasure to be able to read your posts and look forward to many more in 2012!Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404589772713955710noreply@blogger.com
