I'm doing a year-end photo post here, as I think I've said about all I can about the events of 2011, good and bad. As I compiled this, I realized that friends are what make the bad times bearable, and I should have taken more photos of the friends who were with us a lot this year. We are blessed.
JANUARY
My friends Bronwyn and Lesleigh came over for dinner in January and we had a nice visit.
Also had my Hasty cousins for a luncheon/reunion.
I also found time to scan in some old photos in January, like the one above of my dad and a couple of Army buddies on the French Riviera in the early 1950's, or the one below of Mother and Bruce, my aunt Myrt, and cousins Raye and Robert as toddlers.
FEBRUARY - the big snowstorm

JULY
July is birthday month around here - look at my handsome 15 year old!
Mike has taken up chess and loves the game - and beating Mom.
AUGUST
Michael clipped Coco and did an awesome job, and it IS a job, because of her fragile skin.
SEPTEMBER
My friend Anthony, of Anthony Walks America came by for a visit. I've had such fun following his amazing journey across America.
Mike in back to school mode.

NOVEMBER
Mike taught little Reese to ride a bike.
DECEMBER
For now, I want to concentrate on eating lots of blackeyed peas and greens, so I will have money and luck in 2012!
