Yes, finally an New Year. I just love new days, months, years, etc. The very fact that we get anther day or even a year is a wonderful blessing. When you have a sick loved one who may not reach another day much less another year, puts you in perspective very fast.

My Dad is doing well although he has had some more surgery and will need to recover from it the cancer from his bottom area is all gone. Leukemia is still his enemy. My Dad is a very strong man and I just love him so much. Please continue your prayers for his endurance and to be with us so the Lord can keep working in his life so that he will come to understand the truth and be baptized.

My sister is just so zealous and loves the Lord so much. She is such a sweet blessing and encourages me so much. We spent the holidays with her and her son, Spencer.

Please pray for Robin. His job is taking a financial cut and is passing it down to the employees. I will continue to find full time employment. I am still involved with Melaleuca: A wellness company and enjoy the benefits of the natural as well as pharmaceutical products in their catalog. Please go look at Melaleuca.com and if you are interested in shopping for your daily needs online, then go to my business site at www.enrichinglivesfromhome.com/msolomon and send me a message or you can contact me here. Great information about the products is available in a video format.

Okay, that is all I have to say about that. I just want to tell all of you who visit this site that I appreciate you in my life and I wish a wonderful New Year of 2009. Please call, please stop by. You are important to me.

I want to announce that my older Sister Lynlie Jones has come forward after over 17 years of being absent from attending services and has recommitted to her walk with God. She attends the Evadale COC. If you get to visit there then give her a big hug from me. Mark Adams preaches there at this time and he is wonderful.

This month is my BIRTHDAY. I will be the big 4 0 which is the new 3 0. The weather is cooling down and today I have the windows open and the breeze is floating in. It is so nice. I am cleaning house, making tea, doing laundry, ironing, making a poodle skirt for Jessica, and typing on the computer this blog.

Hope you all had a nice October, but it must move over for November. Thanksgiving is coming and I plan to eat pumpkin pie which is my fav. Although, I did have a piece of Jean Paulsel's midnight madness pie and boy am I loving that pie. I hope she will send me the recipe.

This month Sarah flys to FC with Maegan Bradford. We take a Girl Scout trip to Marble Falls where we get to hang on the high ropes course. We are invited to have turkey with the Bradford family and I just can't wait.

It is all to exciting, but I love looking forward to new adventures and such. Take care to you all and enjoy the month with family and friends.

Time just flies. Sarah is driving as you all know. They both are doing well as far as grades an such. We had much company the last few weekends. My sister came with her family to get away from Hannah. Then we had my brother in-law for the evening on weekend. That was electronic madness. I sure miss the simpler times when sitting and talking was the entertainment of the evening, just being together. The next weekend the Locklair's stayed with us to get away from IKE. That is when I think my family should have come also, but they weathered the storm. My brother's home got some water in it. His yard was a pond. My sister and Mom and Dad just got power back on around Sep. 20th. Thank you for your prayers on their behalf.

We plan to see the Paulsel family in October. Kahley if you read this let me know what you wish for your birthday.

I am a Girl Scout Leader and we meet every other Friday late afternoon. Kahley was in our troop and just fell in happy friendship with one of the girls and so I am taking her with me to Weatherford to see Kahley. It will not be a GS event just a fun thing, but we will be helping with Roger's companies Chili fundraiser. We have to get those leadership hours in don't you know.

Any way, hope you all have a safe and happy year. Rejoice in the Lord always again I say rejoice.

Well, before you know it our kids will be focusing on homework. YUK!!! I don't want to start that just right now. Sorry to have brought it up.

I went to Burnet this weekend for a Girl Scout Training. I spent time with my dearest friend and her family. Saturday evening we went Jet Skiing on Lake Buchanan. Jessica my youngest was with me. We rode with Kathy. It was very fun and my first time ever. We went to worship together on Sunday and then I drove down to South Austin for their Gospel meeting with Chip Foster. He works with the congregation in Granberry, Texas. He did an great job. Luis Zamora preaches for South Austin and does a wonderful work there as well. If you have a chance to invite either one of these fine men to preach your Gospel meeting you will not regret it. It was just a wonderful weekend with fellow Christians.

Speaking of wonderful weekends. The Kleinwood Singing begins on the 1st of August. Who is going? Let me know.

Well it is almost summer. We will be supporting Sarah at her paying summer job at the Library. She will be paying for her gas to get there and back.

My Dad is still fighting cancer. He will be doing some radiation treatments this entire month of June. Keep him in your prayers and please pray that his heart will be ready to receive the word of God for salvation.

We are all looking forward to sleeping in, outdoor fun, seeing friends, and family and just relaxing and being together.

My niece and nephew are coming in July for a fun week. We will be going to Fiesta Texas. I have a few other things planned, but that is the big one.

I have been working with an environmentally aware company in the USA which manufactures everyday products from shampoo to cleaning supplies. This company is awesome and since the gas is going up, it is just fun to order my everyday needs online and have them delivered to the door. If you would like to know more or you know someone who wants to work with a company that cares for people and the environment then just let me know.

To all my friends in Pleo Land, I say,"Hello"!!!! I wish you love and happiness in your lives. Hug Hug
