Hey Robbin,
ReplyDeleteYou've done well for 2008 but I don't understand why you haven't built the snowfort with all the snow Detroit is having? lol!
Happy New Year
What, no skinny dipping?
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, my friend. May 2009 hold wonderful things for you!
Happy New Year Robbin,
ReplyDeleteI love your list! I hope that you have a surprising New Year with bright new beginnings and blessings.
Wow Robbin, how long did it take you to compose that list. I don't even think I can think of all the things I did in 2008. I thought of trying but I know I will make my brain work over time just trying to recall. Maybe I will start a list for 09, sounds like fun, and a sure way to look back and say to yourself how busy you were for that year.
ReplyDeleteHappy NEW Year and here is to good things to come for you.

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Robbin. I second to praying that your #9 is achieved, as well as your other heart's desires.
