2012

Nothing too profound has happened between Boxing Day and now....  It was just a lot of getting better and recovering from our sore throats and whatnot.  But as of today we are all doing pretty well around here and have bounced back to our normal selves.

We had some great visitors in the past few days.  Larry, Diane, and Rachel Grail were over for a hello and how's-it-going.  Diane and Rachel had popped in on Shelly in London to say hi, so it was nice of them to stop in again with Larry in Goderich too.  They didn't see Molly back in November, and they were just so excited this time around.  Rachel will make a great babysitter in the future I am sure!  Plus she dropped off a pretty funny stuffed toy turkey that gobbles when its stomach is squeezed...

The Iza's were over on New Year's Day - Reg, Mel, Ella, and Liv.  They were sort of excited to see Molly, but once the piano tunes got crank'n and the microphone got hot, their two girls were way more interested in dancing and karaoke-ing.  Who can blame them?  It was Reg's birthday and they were all out just burning the day-light hours.  No pictures...

Tonight my dad and Brittany came over for some eats and visiting.  We put a dent in a lasagna that Shelly's friend Lisa (who says she doesn't read this blog, yet I am sure she does....) made.  It was pretty dam good Lisa.  Then we got playing the guitars and piano for an hour or so.  Brittany minded Molly just splendidly - and Shelly, dad, and I belted out a few tunes

On New Years Even Shelly, Molly, and I walked over to over friends Sherry and Craig's place.  There was a quality cast of misfits in attendace who enjoyed a few drinks, a bit of snacks and Thanks for having us over Sherry!

I don't really have a 2011 summary or write-up = Why bother?  It is all on the blog and I would just be writing about events that have already been mentioned.  I guess I could post a few pictures that didn't make the cut from this past year.

I had about 6,200 hits on the blog in 2011 - and I am at 7,100 total since this started in September 2010 - That seems pretty respectable.  I had 76 posts which averages to one every five days in 2011.  Each post was read by an average of 85 people, and about 17 people daily read the blog.  I am sure none of these stats break any record...  I have had lots of fun writing this stuff up and posting the pictures.  Plus I get lots of postive feedback....
