Happy New Year

 We did our annual dinner at Pistol Pete's this year with the Stringams and then back to the house for cards. We have been playing this card game now for many years and we start a fresh pot of $30.00 each year. At the end of the year we add up our coins and see who the bid winner was. Again this year the Stringams took the pot. They won us by a big $7.00.  Although we didn't stay up till midnight playing cards, the night was a fun spending time with people we care about. Thanks Stringhams for your wonderful friendship over the years and here's to many more years ahead.

This past year as been a very busy and eventful year. We have had a wedding, a new baby and have lost two very dear people in our lives. Here's to another year of happiness and less loss. May the upcoming year be a wonderful year to remember. May God be close in all our lives and may we always love one another and stay close as a family. Happy New Year to 2012.
