I've been searching my brain for some profound, thought provoking things to say to bring this year to a close and I'm coming up empty.
I also noticed that my last post was the 26th and I don't like letting that much time pass between entries; I'm afraid y'all will go elsewhere for your reading pleasure.
Ok, that's two paragraphs. Can I possibly fill up two more with empty drivel? Hell, yes!
2012 began with time spent with our son, Michael and his, now fiance, Rena. Oh, yeah, and Peter started it off with a head cold that took on a life of its own. A month in Destin, FL was good for what ailed us and we'll be returning for another dose in 59 days.
Spring got a head start while we were in FL. We kept receiving obnoxious messages with pictures attached of blooming trees from our neighbors - thanks, Walt. And summer was wonderful - no brown grass this year.
Fall brought a return visit from Michael and Rena to help mom celebrate her 90th birthday. It was a grand time.
Petey and I worked the fair in September and then took off for a car trip out west. We checked out national parks, Las Vegas and saw a whole lotta nuthin' in between.
And here we are with two days left in this year and hardly any snow to speak of. I'm liking that part.
I hope you all begin 2013 (are you saying "two thousand thirteen or twenty thirteen?) in good health (every third person is coughing and sneezing so good luck with that one) and good spirits - non-alcoholic or laden with booze. Take your pick.
Did you count the paragraphs? I far exceeded my goal.
You're welcome.
You had a good year, and you made mine better by just being you! Enjoy that 59 day countdown, made easier now by moving your studio upstairs!!!

Aw, shucks, Dill. My life has had an extra boost through you as well. Watching the grand kids come along, the renovation of that little trailer and Todd's return home.
DeleteCongratulations! You are going to be a M-I-L! Will this be a destination wedding? Fun times ahead.
ReplyDeleteI have a definite opinion about how to say 2013. I am saying "twenty thirteen". After all, did we call 1999 "one thousand, nine hundred, ninety-nine"?
You're welcome. Best wishes for a happy, healthy and hilarious 2013 Ellen!
The wedding plans haven't been firmed up yet but I'm assuming it will take place in Thailand. We will have a wedding party for them here in Allegan afterward so the family can attend.
DeleteIf this is a repeat of my last comment, forgive me. I can't see that it posted.

Regarding how to say 2013. I have a definite opinion about this, I am saying "twenty-thirteen". After all, did anyone call 1999 "one thousand, nine hundred, ninety-nine"? I think not. There you go. You're welcome.
Best wishes for a happy, healthy and hilarious 2013 Ellen!
Happy New Year, Ellen. Have another good one!
ReplyDeleteYou have had an exciting year! Next year is bound to be even better with the wedding and all. Fun times ahead, my friend. : )
ReplyDeleteI hope it happens next year. I gently press and prod for a date but nothing as yet.
