As the year draws quickly to a close....
will do my annual rear-view mirror post.
January 1, 2012 began for us under the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
From there it was on to Kenya...
an amazing experience!
February ~ the eagles and snow-capped peaks of home.
March ~ the first wiener roast of the year.
April...a trip across the mountain pass to retrieve Kris's vehicle following his accident.
May ~ Mennonite Girls Can Cook book launch celebration.
June ~ the latest we have ever planted corn on our farm...
due to a very wet spring.
July ~ we welcome Baby Lucy
We celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary.
September ~ a trip up the Sunshine Coast
October ~ we are thankful for family and the harvest that was late, but plentiful.
November ~ Yosemite National Park and Palm Springs
As the sun sets on another year...
I realize again how much I have to be thankful for!
Soon we will be opening the door on a new year.
I'm a little fearful of stepping through.
But I know Who goes before me...
and His mercies are new every morning.
Happy New Year to all of you...
my blogging friends!
What wonderful photographs of a fascinating year! Thanks for sharing!

So much unsaid, behind the photos - made me want to go back and re-read some of your posts. It was quite a year! I hope that 2012 will match 2011 in the good times!

I just told Lovella that she does the best year in review, but now I must add your review to my list. I had forgotten all that went on in your year. Lucy, the trips, Kris's accident...so many things to be grateful for.
