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:
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!
A Very Blessed New Year to you both!

ReplyDeleteWhat 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! :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful family! You are indeed blessed.
ReplyDeleteYou had much loss this year but also some joys too.....Hey Mikey! You have a lovely family and yes, we all still have much to be grateful for. As a friend of mine used to say..."it could always be worse" and don't we know it! I hope the New Year treats you kindly.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a great family! Such pretty granddaughters! Hey Mikey sure is a cutie pie.
