Happy New Year to everyone. I hope our sons were able to celebrate, even a little..:) Im so happy its 2013, this is the year our boys come home!....we can finally start counting DOWN the days. I dont know if its just me, but the time seems to be going so SLOW. I dont even remember my 9 months of pregnancy (twice) going this slow!!!
Nice photo Lynnvikings. May I ask where did you find it?
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL AND TO YOUR FAMILIES! I hope you all had a wonderful new year's day, and I hope it was safe. Take care.
That is the best way to look at things Holly...and for some of us the hardest way to see things too. I'm one of them. *But, with comments from positive people like you it helps us pessimists like me to take a different look at things. =)
Just popping in to wish you all a belated Merry Christmas. I hope all of you were able to enjoy the holidays. Happy New Year too!
< Wishing all have a prosperous, safe and happy New Year!
Merry Christmas everybody! That's a great picture, thanks for posting it. My sailor called Christmas morn before we headed out of town for three days. He said he would call that evening again to our cell phones, but unfortunately there wasn't any cell phone service where we were. But lo & behold, somehow he was able to get through the next day for another good phone call.
