This year hold a lot of promise for me and my family. We hope, by the end of the year, to be moved to the country. Oh!how I a looking forward to that. We plan to make our farm/ranch as self-suffecient as possible. I have missed being in the country but my health made it impractical to be too far away from medical attention. Now with it so much improved we are set to fullfill that dream. My three children and my husband plan to build homes on the land and make it a joint venture. I cannot wait until some of us can plan a hugh get-together so that we can finally meet each other face to face. I have such wonderful friends that I have met here to whom I feel as close as any of my friend that I have met and known for years. Oh, well I guess I have known some of you for quite some time. I have new friends that are like a spot of sunshine in my heart. They come in all ages, locations and with many diverse interest. How Lucky can a person get. How can I even begin to name them all. There is my sis and twin. You are so special to me. Tipsy, you brighten my life and fill it with laughter, Jen, I find more each day to show me just how precious is your friendship, Toots, ahhhh you are such a special young woman. Soft, we share our love of writing and so much more. Oh I keep thinking I will say something to all of you that are so special to me but there is just not room. Some of you have sons and daughter serving in our military. They have my prayers, my respect and my gratitude. Others are gallantly battling life threating disease or have family members who are in danger. You too have my prayers. There are others like bguy and letsplay that have enriched my life so very much with your friendship. Still I just don't know how to tell all of you how special you are to me. Just know that you are and that I care. What more can I say but Thank you so much and may all your lives be filled with many, many blessings. Your Friend Pris
