2010 - Year in Review

It's hard to believe that 2010 is almost over ... in just a matter of hours, it will be 2011.  At the end of each year, I like to look back and reflect on the year.

In January, we traveled to southwestern Florida (and had a wonderful time despite a road incident about an hour and a half from home that set us back 2 hours and extremely cold temperatures in Florida).  On our way home, we stopped to visit my dad who was spending a couple of the winter months on the Alabama Gulf Coast.

In February, we celebrated a few birthdays:  T#1 and mine.

In March, we made a whirlwind trip to Florida for Cardinals spring training, with a "detour" to St. Simons Island on our way home.

In May, we celebrated T#2's birthday.

In June, we traveled to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park.  We saw elk - everywhere.  As much as I still love (and prefer) the beach, the mountains were beautiful, and I suspect we'll get back some day.

In July, my sisters came into town and we treated my dad to a weekend in St. Louis with a couple of Cardinals games.

In August, we celebrated T#3's birthday.

In October, we celebrated T#4's first birthday.  We also took a trip to Paducah to see the Quilt Museum.  I also finished T#3's big boy quilt (I had started it well over a year earlier, but life happened ... and I lost my motivation).

In November, we celebrated DH's birthday and had a wonderful Thanksgiving with DD and her family.

In December, we celebrated our 23rd anniversary, had a White Christmas, had a good visit with my family, with DD and family, celebrated DSIL's birthday, finished DSIL's quilt, and wondered how it was possible for 2010 to pass so quickly!

I pray that you all have a


So long 2010 ..
