Happy New Year

My wishes for all are that this is a magnificent 2011 and that you are healthy throughout the year.  2011 will start very quietly for us.  No family for dinner.  Both kids have in-laws that were visited yesterday.  This, actually, suited me just fine.  The holiday decorations can be put away slowly and carefully.  I wish I had a way to just  put the tree in a closet, decorated and always ready to be pulled out and plugged in.  Christmas is my favorite time of the year.  Everything is so pretty and Santa is one of my favorite items.  There are at least 15 on the tree and many more throughout the house.  They will all go in their little boxes for another 11 months.

On to 2011.  We welcome you with open arms.
