Happy 2012

Well it's another year so I'll start being all sentimental and hopefully it will only be one post. Chances are good since im doing this on my phone.

To begin with, it's been a tough year. Both unemployed and being lazier than a lizard in the noon sun.

We lost Don and that's still tough. I see his face EVERYWHERE.

And now the good things:

Pookie ( need I say more !). And as it turns out, he's Jme's dog and how freaking cute is that.

okay, now i'm on my laptop; sooooooooooooo much easier!

there's a new baby girl in my life!

 And a nephew back in my life!  And his wife is a delight!  i'm so happy to be in their world.

we are lucky to have a friend like Jeff that's willing to put up with us until we figure out what we're doing. and we're lucky to have found a great tenant for the condo in California.  I sooo miss my home but i think it's more like, i miss A home of our own.

so lastly, to everyone reading this,

be safe
be happy
be content
be positive
be kind
be creative
be inventive
be warm

and may all those "be's" be followed by "to yourself".

love you all much

New friend

Fabric stiffener is my new friend.
