Unwrapping the year 2011


The youngest, the graduate, the husband, the oldest, me and the girls.

January:  I took up Zumba and Yoga this year, whether my body is responding is still unclear.

February: Celebrated our 25th anniversary, in Disneyland so fun. Our youngest boy, turned twenty one.

March: Our oldest got married on the 26th day, if he’s smart like his father he’ll learn to obey. The husband went to Philadelphia a wrestlers dream, traveled with the guys, oh what a team. I camped with the girls at a quilters retreat, sewed until dawn our quilts to complete.

April:  Spring break, spring break, a much welcomed sight. No preschoolers for me, what a delight!

May came and went not much to report, summer’s around the corner although it’s too short.

June: College boy graduated with degree in hand, a financial advisor he can give you a plan. 
Summer has arrived I have no remorse. It’s all about enjoyment and riding my horse.

July:  The husbands season is upon him he’s a very busy man, as for me I went to Mexico, planted my feet in the sand.

August: Our boy returned from his mission, two years away. The husband went to Alaska slayed fish for three days.

September: Sad to say, it’s back to school, except for the youngest who met his girl (so cool). My quilt received a blue ribbon, first time at the fair. We’re nearing 50, darn those gray hairs.

October: A road trip indeed, our son's  birthday surprise. We had an alternative motive, hauled his stuff and supplies. The Graduate took to the air his pilot license in the making, it won’t be long and passengers he’ll be taking.

November: The remodeling was finished just in the nick of time, as everyone came home to feast and to dine
.
December: This letter nearly killed me, three times I did compose. It kept disappearing from under my nose. I send you Christmas greetings at this special time of year, to all my blogging friends I hold so very dear.

Merry Christmas everyone!!
