Saying so long to 2008 ~ get outta here!

Woo hoo! It's 2009.
I try to be a fairly upbeat person, but I must say I am more than ready to get rid of 2008. It was not a very good year. Come to think of it, 2007 kinda sucked, too. I think Ralph and I are due for a better year. I hope we are anyway. Must be positive about this.

Yesterday we were snowed in. It started coming down around 8 a.m. I was able to work from home, thankfully. Ralph had the day off.
Our children were just hangin' around. Spending way too much time on their computers, but whatever.
We are starting to realize the importance of this winter break for them. They both were extremely busy last semester at college. I'm happy they are involved in so many activities there. And they both got good grades, so all is well.
Today we get to shoo them outside to shovel the driveway. Woo hoo. Sounds like a plan.

I hope to take some pictures today. That sounds like a relaxing, day off kind of thing to do...we'll see. Off to make New Year's Day breakfast.
Later I may bake some fudgy brownies, with the help of Betty Crocker.

Hope you all have a lovely New Year's Day and a Happy 2009!

~ Happy New Year ~ in a vintage way

You didn't think I was done sending out vintage greetings, did you?

Wishing happiness and good health to all in 2009 ~
