    You'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!

  5. 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.

    Happy NEW Year and here is to good things to come for you.
