the year that was...

That's it for 2007...so I thought I'd take a quick look back at the year that was!

January...at Harrison Hotsprings with the grandkids.

February...memories of a weekend in Birch Bay with my sisters.

March...making 'little peeps' with Spencer and Emerson.

April...riding the lazy river in Palm Springs with good friends.

May...Jeremy, the kids and Chief walking home across the fields.

June...driving through a prairie storm in Manitoba.

July...Chilliwack Lake (one of many lakes we visited with our Swiss friends).

August...making hay while the sun shines.

September...celebrating dad's 85th birthday.

October...a wonderful family weekend at Alpine Meadows Resort.

November...trip to Grand Canyon and beyond!

December...celebrating Christmas with the family.

It was a year of many blessings...it is so good to pause and look back on occasion! Tomorrow we start the next chapter. Who knows what that will bring? What I do know, is that God will be faithful come what may!

And, it's hard to believe, but I am on the eve of my 100th post. I can't even begin to write about this experience today, but I've had a lot of fun playing with pictures and words (that's what blogging is, right?) So watch for the traditional '100 things about me' post tomorrow. I am giving away a calendar for the new year (garden pic's I took last year). So leave me a comment or send me an e-mail, and I will enter your name in the draw...winner to be determined on January 2, 2008.

Happy New Year to you all!

  5. WOW, you have really accomplished a lot since September when we first started talking about blogging. Congratulations on your post today. Yes, I agree it takes time but at the same time it's a journal and legacy of the lives we lead.
    May 2008 have some glimmers of hope for you and your family.
    I would be honored to have your calendar. I think I'll leave a post every hour.

  9. Wow! That was a great journey through your year. We all should be doing that...I should. It would remind me of all the blessings; one was a new grandson.

    I had no idea that one does a post "100 Things About Me" to honor the event. I'm actually glad that I didn't. Phew! But I'm looking forward to yours!

    Happy New Year!
