Good Day m'lords and ladies,

 Another year is coming and going. Such blessings fill it too! Many travels and opportunities to be useful to others. I spent 7 weeks (easter til memorial day weekend) in Louisiana staying with my sister Carla and her boys (4 of them and a husband!!). Matt (age 9) had broken his femur and had to wear a fixature and then a cast. i helped with schooling him at home so Carla could go back to work and not lose her benefits. My other sister Lynn is out that way too with her 3 children (ex-husband committed suicide in 2007). Lynn is also a breast cancer survivor. Maybe you remember me mentioning that in my blogs. I was not only able to help them out with their families but we attended Festival International (a 5 day long music festival with bands from all over the world, FREE!!) it was soooo fun!

 Since I've been back, I've worked quite a bit at the horse rescue (www.myspace.com/DestinationSafeHaven) and going to faire. Lots of projects at home and spending time with Kristin (daughter 20) and Jim (husband of 22 yrs Aug 29). gosh!

i spend a lot of time on facebook keeping up with my family that lives all over the place. i am truly and richly blessed with great family and friends. i took a long weekend and stayed with friends up in wisconsin and have enjoyed lots of free music nearby. hubby jim's band XYLEM has been playing quite a bit and i try to support them when i can.

well, that's all i can think of now, so, be blessed ya'll. i'll try to do better at visiting this site more often.

peace
