Happy New Year!

We ended the year with a bang! My oldest friend from high school came a few days after Connie, Larry and Matthew left and she just left this morning. We have had an action packed 2 days. We went to Rutherfordton on Friday and to Boone yesterday. She wanted to catch the New Year sales at a clothing line she's always followed. We went and we each left happy... even Randy, our driver...especially yesterday in Boone. He took a new book he had received at Christmas (just in case) but there was a TV room and another man, so they watched football and were happy as could be. It was snowing as we drove into the town, where the ground was already snow-covered. Needless to say, we didn't stay outside too long, as it was only 14 degrees and frigid. But we did find a quaint little cafe to eat at called The Red Onion after our shopping spree. We came home tired and happy and finished off leftovers.

It's a New Year, so I pray each one of you will be filled with the newness of Christ...new hope, new attitudes, new actions, new endeavors, new friends and new healthy living.
