I have much to be grateful for, as the year turns to 2009. We are on our way to a large gathering of friends, a quality potluck where the food is equal to the excellent company. We may not stay all night, I’m so ready for quiet, but we will touch base with loved ones on this last day of the year.

You all who read this blog, are among those I am grateful for. May your 2009 be as good as my 2008 was.
