HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I can't believe '07 is gone.

Even more so, I can't believe how rapidly the years are clicking off!

It is difficult for me to look back at '07. Tragedy and Triumphs are sprinkled throughout.

Of course Freddy and Tj would be the majors at one extreme while Drew and Kennedy would be at the other. Weddings and pregnancy(s) would be other positive factors.

I am not big on resolutions. I guess I think they are a lot like day dreams.

A bit of catching up, Sunday I went to Midland alone. Krl was not well. We had a few "must" items on our list, the first of which was dog food. Of course the only place that has our dog's food is Petsmart. Office supplies were second stop. Then a quick jaunt to Albertson's for items unique only to them, then on to HEB for the main course! The highlight of the trip was running across a display of Junior Helper get ups at HEB. These are so cute. I had bought Reid one and he loved it and Rian and Erica had asked me where I had found it. These get ups have a leather tool belt, hammer, gloves, measuring tape, chalk box, and of course the all important hard hat accompanied by rainbow colored suspenders. I called Rian to see if he wanted me to get one and he told me two for them and then I got two extras. One for Holt's birthday and another to put back for Drew!

The plant has been running fairly well. We did have a lint cleaner fire yesterday that spread to the motes. Everyone is pretty fresh so trucks have been waiting to get loads. Krl and I spent time doing end of year stuff. Charitable donations, reconciling banking, and trying to do a little tax planning.

Neither Krl or I saw the new year in.

So already we are playing catch up!

Have a day!

FATHER, I ask YOUR blessings on this new year. We lift up Hag as he begins his treatment and we ask YOUR gifts of healing and comfort for him. YOU reign supreme!
