Year in Review 2018

Time once again to look back at the happenings during the year and our family.
Our daughters:

Andy and jen 2018
Jen and Andy still have a couple of years before they are empty nesters.  They have two Shelties…Miney(13) and Little Elvis(8).
The girls and their spouses all have jobs!
Grands:

Deaths:
Friend Ruby (100),  friend Jim (71), Aunt Delores (82), Aunt Louise (88), Aunt Lila (86), Brother in Law Tim (63), Cousin Tammy (49) and Cousin Marc (50). May they all rest in peace.
Pet Deaths:

Shiny Brite Tree and Chance (2)

Many paw prints were left upon our hearts this year. 
Biggest Changes:  Life without a dog.
Biggest Frustrations: People and places with heavy perfume and after shave.  The Clean Air Act is supposed to protect people from air pollution…that would include any and all perfume/fragrances.  This year I have noticed that peoples clothing stinks from fabric softner/ fabric softner pellets that keep on giving and giving.
Happiest Moment in 2018: For me that was being able to bring Far Guy home from the hospital after three hospital visits.   For Far Guy:  Most likey his 50th Class Reunion.
Happy New Year’s Eve!

  17. What a wonderful family, and such beautiful people too. It has been a hard year for losses for me, too, but I don't like to list them all or it makes me feel worse. I still miss Chance, too. But you did a great job of reminding me of how life goes on, and we get over it eventually. Hey MIkey is adorable! :-)
