So here I sit 3 days before Christmas with still plenty to do…..however I have workmen in the house and until they leave, here I shall remain! I am using? this unexpected window of time to finish wrapping up gifts (finally up to speed), finished setting my Christmas dinner table and now decided it was the perfect time to write this post or at least begin it.<\/p>\n

And here I am a few days later finishing it up! Was 2014 a good year for you? I hope so….for me it was a year of many changes, lots of wonderful things happening and I am very ready to see what 2015 has in store. This past weekend was bittersweet for me, I officially became a bonafide emptynester. My middle son moved to the city, it was exciting because he was so ready to go and thankfully my college aged son is still? home on break however when he leaves later in January, it will really hit me. So 2015 will be my first year as am empty nester…….interesting to see what awaits!<\/p>\n

By the time you read this I will be on a plane headed somewhere warm and tropical… for a much needed vacation. I am so looking forward to basking in the warm sun and having no agenda!! I am going with a few books some mags, my sunblock and little else I will be back on Jan. 6th so this post is it until then. It’s a little of bit of everything,? a look back through pictures on 2014 and then I share some posts from way back that I enjoyed\/you might have missed.<\/p>\n

So join me for a little recap of 2014 through pictures…….<\/p>\n
