Sarah gave me a Kalaidescope for Christmas. I love it. It's like fireworks and diamonds in a tunnel. I have loved kalaidescopes ever since I was a child and this is the first one I've ever owned.
All of my children gave me gifts of love this year. Clayton gave me the movie "Matilda" which makes me smile. Long story. Sean gave me the movie "Holiday Inn." Did I tell you about the dream I had about Fred Astaire? I didn't dance with him in my dream. I don't know what that means.
Emily is making a dvd of my grandchildren in different stages. Laurie gave me wedding pictures. Did I mention that I love my family?
Well, over all 2009 was a year that I am glad to be done with. I will not name the many reasons that I am happy to say goodbye. But to go out on a high note:
THE BEST OF 2009
Sweet Pete won all of our hearts. I love having "Peter the Accessible" around...and often. He holds my heart in his little flipper hands.
Little Maddie is getting a little sister...a promise of good things to come in 2010! Maddie looks so much like her daddy and takes me back.
The wedding of the year was on June 30th and it was a beautiful wedding. Yellow and gray and sunshine and a couple in love. The perfect beginning.
We had health, if not wealth, in 2009. Family and friends and fun. There were growth and challenges.
Here's to looking forward! Happy New Year, everyone!

I'm glad you liked your presents. I never got to see the kalaidescope. You have some cute little grandkids! Can't wait to meet the next one. Love ya!
Ooh a kalaidescope? You are a lucky girl. I haven't seen one since I was very young. I think I'll need to find one that is indestructable to share with my girlies.
It feels like it's lunch time again?
I remember the old Kalaidescope. Grandma had one! I was 4 then. We won't go into it!
2009 was very hard! But you are right! We had family. We had love. And my son got engaged at the end of it!
I'm ready for an awesome 2010.
I'm also glad that you have been around for several years now to email me when days are hard...
and I'm also glad to have met my "sister" way back during the high school days when we thought all of this was "happily ever after!"
I had no idea that was the first kaleidoscope you have ever owned! I'm honored to be the presenter! I'm also pleased to have provided "Peter the Accessible." Here's to the hope of another accessible grandchild in the upcoming year.
