Merry Christmas, Happy New Year!!!

Merry Christmas, all! I wish for everyone to have a joyous holiday season and to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior. I, for one, will be happy when 2011 is over and am looking forward to a brighter year in 2012.

This year has been quite eventful in our life and the lives of my family. I swear something awful has touched everyone I love this year. From my son's illness, two car accidents, our daughter and Henry, my Mom's illness that is today still undiagnosed as she gets sicker and weaker, the end of our daughter's five year relationship with her boyfriend, and my oldest granddaughter's move back to Alaska after enduring a year of emotional turmoil with her stepdad.

Despite the bad, we have been so blessed in many ways as well. Henry's job, the purchase of our condo, I was able to visit my grand kids and my son in Alaska, Amanda has been here twice for visits and she will be spending Christmas with us for three days and then returning here to celebrate New Year's as well. We are excited to see her and have lots of fun things planned.

If there is one thing I know, it is that God and family are most important. Without either, I don't know how I would have been able to handle everything.

I haven't been posting to this blog on a regular basis, and most likely will not be from here on, for many reasons. It is difficult for me to stay off the political issues because they are issues I am passionate about, but I understand people get tired of hearing it. Because we aren't full timing anymore and have settled in one location, that's a bit boring to post about.

Parting words.... Please vote for whomever the GOP nominee is, regardless of any misgivings you may have about him. That is the only way to get rid of Obama. This country will not survive four more years of him. To my liberal friends: do your country a favor and don't vote at all!!!! I blame every bleeding heart liberal for the mess Obama has made, and begging people to wake up is getting old. Liberals won't wake up because they're not bright enough to see the bigger picture, enough said.
