and it's a wrap...twenty-eleven

It's pretty  hard to wrap up
a whole  year in one post.
I'll try, though.



Here's an overview:
I've included:
 my favorite posts,
your favorite posts,
the most viewed post,
and the most commented-on post.
And 
just for fun 
  a few pictures that I love.


 I've included links 
so you can go back 
if  you want to spend the whole afternoon here.


It was a great year
Thank you so much for being a part.
You encourage me more than you  know.


january

We started January with the pictures 
of my Miss Mrs G's vintage-style wedding.
Seems like forever-ago and yet just like yesterday, KWIM?
I do miss my little girl.

I am so thankful 
for the Lord's protection and provision 
this year.
He has protected my family.
My sons have not been  injured seriously 
in their very dangerous jobs.

He has provided abundantly.
We  made it through the lean winter of the recession.
We have a new grandson.
We have a new grandbaby on the way.
My youngest girl is growing up more every day.
Relationships are healing
and
Hearts are healing.

Grace has been given freely.


It has been fun to go back and see what I have written.
This blog is about my passions.
I hope they do show through;
my faith,
 my family, 
and 
my love of vintage.
Thanks again for coming along with me.
Happy New Year!
