I Know I have been gone for quite awhile, but one of my resolutions for 2011 is to be more diligent in my blogging! for those who have asked, "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" , well, I can't say "busy" b/c then I would negate my previous blog a month ago! HA! But, well, I've been,well, preocuppied! ....Lots going on, let me say that!!! More on that later! This morning, I'll just give a quick blog with no pix but just a little hello and few tidbits. Christmas was UNREAL--awesome! Terry and I both agreed the kids did WAAAY too much!! Wonderful gifts/thoughtful gifts! And Terry gave me a shocker--a beautiful diamond cross necklace. It is so beautiful and what I've always wanted! What a surprise to go through that huge stocking filled to the BRIM with all kinds of wonderful things and , just like a fairy tale, I pulled a beautiful wrapped box out of the toe! I squealed when I saw "Brombergs" wrapping paper, let me say that!!! ha! My most exciting gift I GAVE would have to be Terry's. I gave Terry a desk top iMac for Christmas!!! I scrimped and saved and ---per Dave Ramsey (author of "Financial Peace" ) -and Katie and Jon (who took his class at their church) passed on to ME great ideas on how to save money by putting cash in envelopes--to keep from getting in debt by charging it (and paying twice as much for it in the end!). Anyway, long story short (I did say I was going to do a SHORT blog???), anyway, I had enough to purchase him a gift with my own money for a change! HAHA! I sold some scrapbooks/notecards, ,etc on Etsy which helped AND the kids gave me APPLE gift cards all through the year towards it. Nothing felt better than going into that APPLE STORE and paying , in cash, for it. It was awesome. For Christmas, Natalie/Brad gave me a program for the new computer for PICTURES. I am thrilled but nervous about figuring out how to do it! SOOOO, I'm going to take a class and also go to Natalie's precious neighbor, Amanda, who is a photographer to give me a quick run through on it one day, too. So, maybe I will be putting up better pix, too! Thank goodness for Jon who set it all up and has it all running perfectly. It's not nearly as hard as I thought it would be to go from PC to Mac. BUT, I still love my laptop and actually am on it now! SOOO, I will do BOTH more than likely! Our VERY FIRST computer, back in the day, was an APPLE. I had forgotten till Michael reminded me. The debate goes on: PC or Apple? Well, I am both--I like them both but guess Terry will become a true "APPLEHEAD"! LOL............I have lots of pictures to post of Christmas and hopefully, when we get our better internet service (Jon also said we HAVE to have faster service!) I can load pix faster and with my new Aperture program, have clearer and better pictures as well!....So, come back and visit Jan.1 ! I have some news and need to show you how much our beautiful grand-babies are growing as well!
Merry CHRISTmas!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
P.S. We have some great news in 2011 but I defer writing about all our news until January 1, 2011 ! Great goings on! Come back to see!
