I will be in & out of communication over the next few weeks ...

You, too, sugar!! Happy new year and hope you are doing well today. Hubs and I are going to a movie tonight just to laugh! Old Guys. I think it'll fill that bill and have me laughing my head off.

Happy New year Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post as always. You have such a beautiful way with words. Thank you for the wonderful memories for this year of 2009. They have been wonderful. The laughter, the tears, the joy, the sadness, the girl-to-girl talks, every last one of them have been such a joy to my heart. Thank you for helping hold my upright this year. I would have been lost without you.
I am praying for you, as I know these holidays hold sadness for you too. I hope you have felt my prayers, as I have prayed that God would touch your heart and let you know how loved you are.
All my love sweetie. Thank you again for everything. I look forward for 2010.
Bunches and bunches of hugs and much love, Sherry
We did have a Merry Christmas and looking for a better New Year in 2010. We have much hope for our troops and wish you and yours a Happy New Year
