Here’s my little version of the big ball that drops in NYC!

A happy New Year! Grant that I
May bring no tear to any eye
When this New Year in time shall end
Let it be said I’ve played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.
~Edgar Guest

2008 has been a very good year for our family and filled with many milestones.  It was a year that will go down in our memories as a special year for many reasons. We celebrated Big D getting his Master’s, our 25th anniversary, our future DIL graduated with her BA,  the planning of the wedding of our son, and our daughter finally found a job she loves, just to name a few of the many highlights.  I am looking forward to what the new year will bring.

Wishing each of you a very happy and prosperous 2009!

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.
