The New Year

My friend, Diana, claims this blogging thing is a lot easier now than when she first signed me up. Soooo- I am trying it and going to see if it is. That is ONE New Year's "resolution".

Napa Valley

Santa Claus!

Santa made a visit to our house and read a story and passed out toys to everyone. Look at those precious faces!!!

Mr. Jingaling

We all boarded the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad and set out with Mr. Jingaling for a train ride.....a very long train ride.

The Holidays 2009

What a GREAT Christmas with family.......Members of the family came from Phoenix and Dayton to hang out and rekindle friendships.

Thanksgiving

So very much to be thankful for.... my husband, who works so hard every day and enjoys life!!; my children who are such wonderfully, independent adults who still value mom's opinion; my grandchildren who make me laugh everyday; my co workers and my job.....we support each other and help the kids everyday; the 76 and 82 years my dad and mom lived on this earth, respectively; and for the faith that they live forever in heaven now.
