as the year comes to an end i have been thinking about the past 12 months...travel and life lived and lived so well.
2011 has been odds defying...ginny has had a chemo free year...the growth, although active, is doing so at a rate that has not interfered with the living of an adventurous and love filled life.
here are some of my "lovelights" for 2011
1. trip to weeki watchee florida to see friends dan and kris wee...
2. a season of minnesota opera tickets (a lovelight for ginny-not so much for kir)
3. london dash 2011
the joy ginny finds in crazy street performers
a great birthday surprise and love and friendship
4. a weekend on the central coast (california) with sarah
5. a week-long visit with friend sue blough...she made the trip to minnesota...
(excuse the stick sue-how she was here a week without a picture taken is beyond me)
6. the boundary waters trip with a group of students from the high school
