We’re waving goodbye to 2011. Once again the year was packed with memories. I don’t know about you but I’m thankful I don’t have a crystal ball to see the future. We had the coldest and snowiest winter, hottest summer, and deadliest tornado… ever. It was certainly a rough year. But it wasn’t all bad. There were also rewards, challenges and humorous incidents that gave me good material for my blog. And much of it was handed to me by my three boys and wife. Thanks for reading my blog this year. Here’s a look back on some of my pictures, with links to the stories behind them:
Why were nearly 200 teenagers in our garage on New Year’s Eve? Thank you Jacob. And Facebook. It was also the night of “The Cat in the Drawer”.
