I am considering making another pond, just for wildlife, so I hope you might do a post about yours sometime!

No energy, plus lingering cough, etc. Christmas visits and having people to stay turned into a bit of a chore, as I didn't feel well. Never mind - I did enjoy seeing everyone!<BR/><BR/>I find loud music a problem, too. It's hopeless when no one can hear you and you can't hear anyone else.<BR/><BR/>It sound as if you had a good year. 2 trips to Australia and one to India plus another grandchild? Impressive!<BR/><BR/>I'm a bit apprehensive about looking back over my year. I think it might have been more bad than good, so I'm putting it off a bit.Mean Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829239249872290230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704445539832223114.post-48305601007330467072009-01-06T00:13:00.000+00:002009-01-06T00:13:00.000+00:00Happy New Year and I hope you are successful with ...Happy New Year and I hope you are successful with selling your house this year.

I for one can't believe how fast 2008zoomed by. Where did it go? Anxiety for the unknown seems to be something many of us are suffering from. I wish you the very best of luck in selling your house and may 2009 be one of your happiest.

(You reminded me of that!)<BR/>IMy daughter told me not to think about what the year has ahead as both of us are living one day at a time just to survive.<BR/>However, each year when I pick up my Christmas card list, several friends or relatives always seem to be missing.<BR/>Looking forward to the warmer weather though! And the grandchildren help us to keep pleasure in our lives, bless them!Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183886005936250976noreply@blogger.com
