I had so much fun reading & celebrating everyone's wonderful memories of 2010 … here's to making lots more wonderful memories in 2011. My random number generator (also known as my dear husband) chose 17, 22, & 34 to win the box of stamp giveaway:
I have two precious memories that will stick with me 4ever from 2010.
First, I took my family to Florida. We had several stops: Chicago, DC, then Ft. meyers. In Dc we were having a time getting to our gate. We had 30 minutes. We saw red, white, blue balloons and lots of fanfare at a gate. Assuming service ppl were coming home, someone over heard our inquiry and said it was an honor flight from MN. My heart stopped when I realized my 94 yo grampa was going to be on an honor flight…and he is from MN. They let us up to the gate as the people got off the plane, each one escorted by a well decorated vet. I took a guess that he was there and SURE ENOUGH he was! Wheelchair and all he came off the plane in DC as my family and I cried, as did the others waiting to recieve him there. We could not have planned this meeting if we tried!!!!! It was so amazing…flags music, ballons, screaming. We caught it on video and took pictures. He had never met his youngest great grand child which made it that much more sweet.

Out with the old, in with the new! If you pick me, we can meet somewhere in town and save on postage. LOL! My favorite memory from 2010 is taking my first real vacation in 10 years to visit my parents in their winter paradise. It was fun to meet their Arizona friends and HILARIOUS to watch my dad play softball in a retirement league (he's actually one of their better players, in spite of his age and the fact that he's blind in one eye). It makes me happy to see them enjoying their golden years together.
