new year
Can you believe it is not only the
beginning of a new year but also a new
decade? Why is it I have never looked at
life until now in 10-year chunks of time? I
typically take life one year at a time and

My husband and I have sold
a business, started two new
businesses, purchased and
renovated three houses, sold two of
them, and moved three times. Our
homes have always been open to
family. Two of our adult children
moved home for a period of time.
Our nephew needed a safe place to
land to get his feet on the ground
and my brother came for a visit and
loved it so much he moved here
and stayed with us, too.
We buried relatives — parents, an
uncle and aunt — plus several good
friends. We also welcomed six new
grandbabies to the family and an
additional three step grandchildren
— all of them compliment the nine
we already had. Yes, we have a very
big family!
