New Year 2009

Well I hope 2009 brings everyone good luck, more happiness and a safe year. 2008 wasn't too good for us. We had alot of problems. But I am hoping we can get through 2009 without a hitch. I am feeling pretty good about 2009. I feel with a lot of prayers and faith, we will get through it with no problems. It was a hard year 2008. with my husband's congestive heart failure and all and my daughter losing her job and so many other problems. My surgery which didn't work out that well. My problem wasn't fixed so I am back to square one. Oh well I was hoping for the best but didn't get it. What else is new, right?. I never seem to come out on top. But my toes aren't as bad as they were when I started but they will never be the same as they were before the first surgery. But at least the second doctor tried so I can't blame him.
Lets see Nicky, my grandson turned 17 yesterday and my grand-daughers turned 20 and 15 so they are getting older as well. My younger two one turned 10 and the other turned 6 all getting older. Katie the one in college is doing quite well and I am so proud of her. Lizzie is doing so well in high school and boy is she getting beautiful. She was always pretty but as she gets older, she is getting more beautiful. so tall and really getting to be a very beautiful young lady. She is now in New England at her friend's home for the holidays. This was a gift to her from her friend's family.
My daughter has since been offered a new position so she will start a new job I believe in Feb. so thats good news. My husband whom almost died is coming along very well. so things are already looking up. I am getting my bird which I asked Santa for this is a gift from my two girls thats a great present......
Lets see I sent in an application for a show in March, which I never do Spring shows but this is one up near Katie's school Akron U. so I don't know if I will get in or not we shall see by Jan. 16th.
Still writing for Lemon Poppy Seeds which I totally enjoy and also still doing my web site and also lemon poppy seeds and Sandy's site which I have been selling items so thats a good sign. I hope 2009 brings peace and a safe home front for all of us.
I hope Obama does well, he is our president even though I didn't vote for him, I wish him well.
Well I guess thats all for now will write more later I need to keep up with this blog since Maria died I lost interest in writing here but I have to keep it up. So till next time Keep safe, keep warm and keep smiling keeps the wrinkles away.
Hugs
