A NEW YEAR!!!! 2010 is here




Whether we like it or not 2010 is here. I hope we all like it because it sure beats the alternative, right. The year has started out very cold and white. We have probably received close to 40 inches of snow in the last 30 days. I heard on the weather station, that we had 14 straight days that the temperature was below freezing. Last year was a good year and I am looking forward to this year and what it will bring. It is hard for me to believe that I am 60 years old.(nearing 61) My mind will not let me believe it, on the other hand my body and the mirror tells me otherwise. As I reflect back on my life, I know I have lost loved ones near and dear to me. Even though I have lost my father, mother, a wife and a stepchild. I have so much to be thankful for and what better time than the first month of a new year to acknowledge it. Thank you, God for my health and my family.
You can tell from the pictures that we are not the only ones who get cold.

Margaret is already packing for our annual cruise. We have decided on Jamaica and the Western Caribbean this year. We will be leaving next month from Miami. We have a trip planned in two weeks to Winterplace for some skiing and snow tubing. Dathan, Jessica, Kaden, Jonathan, Jennifer, Margaret and I are going on the 13th of next month.
