1) I really don’t believe in New Year Resolutions..so I did not make one for 2006. In a generic sense, I have been taught by a very good redheaded teacher..that every Holida Season is a time for “renewing your hope”. I have done that this year…and I am full of HOPE for 2006.

2) As per above, I did not make a resolution in 2005…and as you can guess….my Hope was tested to it’s absolute limit..in 2005.

3) No question..the highlight of the year was when I heard that Rob and Kristin were pregnant.

4) I am looking forward to babies….they are an important part of YOUR life..they will be a fun part of mine..you all need one.

5) The new little girl….she is coming soon…she will be beautiful….she will be a blank page….she will carry the hopes of all of her ancestors…she may look like her redheaded grandma…she will be loved.
