Adios 2008


Some thoughts on exiting this past year.....

On the downside:We have had a less than stellar year as far as business is concerned.
Coach has had to let many employees go. He worries daily about the next few months.

On the upside: Our family and our day to day life is better than most. We are very blessed.
We have made many sacrifices and preparations for what the future may hold for us.


But for this coming week.....


He said:

Fuuuugggetttt about it....

Don't worry, be HAPPY!!!

We are escaping the hot, humid weather of Florida and heading to the gorgeous cool, crisp Mountains.....

A few days in one of our most favorite places with some of our most favorite friends!
Some pics from our favorite place:




The last time the 6 of us vacationed together...this happened:

Costa rica....volcanic ash mud bath.

Does N.C have volcanic ash???

Happy New Year!!!!

  10. I don't have to wish you a good time on your trip -- it looks as if a good time is guaranteed. But enjoy the mountains of North Carolina.

  14. Have fun in the mountains (I know you will!). Looks wonderful and I'm jealous!

    I have confidence that the economy is going to pick up! I know this because I stimulate it on a daily basis lately.

    How's the bathroom coming? I'm behind, you know.

    COSTA RICA! I have been wanting to go there forever!!!!!!!!!!! Bring on the MUD!
