First, a little trivia to start out 2007
After big Times Square bash, big cleanup AP - Mon Jan 1, 8:44 AM ET
NEW YORK - The big ball is not all that drops in Times Square on New Year's Eve. As revelers headed home early Monday, the first day of 2007, work crews moved in to sweep up the remnants of 2006. Their mission: picking up 3.5 tons of confetti (a record-setting amount), as well as sandwich bags, food wrappers, and other debris from the big bash. (And I thought to put away the Christmas decorations was a big deal!)
I took a trip down memory lane (my achievements) to see what were the highlights of Daisy World 2006. Here are my top 10 personal favorites that I will remember about the past year.
- The Blog Olympics/ Training Camps: What fun in the long winter months. What a stretch to my imagination and who knew I would be so good at lying? (Maybe I have the makings of a soap opera writer or journalist for the Enquirer.) The Blog Olympics was a great tool for meeting new friends and developing a wonderful friendship with its amazing creator (the IOBC Chairwoman: Barbara Miers)
- My Weight Watchers Rants: Some of the best writing. According to Red Smith, "Writing is sitting down at a typewriter and opening a vein." If so, these posts were brutally honest and close to the heart.
- My Meeting of the Sassy Southern Sisterhood. I'm still blessed to have met with Yellow Rose and Cozy Readers and their hubbies. We formed an instant bond and I am so looking forward to seeing them again this spring.
- Our annual pilgrimage to Savannah and staying with my friend Floozie. Savannah is warm memories, good food, great friends and endless giggling and cutting up with my friend Floozie. She willingly puts up with our crazy schedules and makes sure I get to do all my favorite things.
- Daughter Suzy's Graduation/New York Trip: New York in the Spring was so much fun. I loved seeing Suzy and Tim working in areas that complement their talents. Boy Wonder always makes me laugh.
- A Diva is born! The wonderful news of our first grandchild to born this coming January.
- Our first Vegetable Garden in New Hope. Who knew that growing vegetables and playing in the dirt could be so much fun? We are still eating the fruits of our labor and planning our next garden for this coming spring.
- The Laughing Ladies Luncheon and subsequent wild weekend. Wow, I still laugh when looking over the pictures. Getting 5 bloggers together for lunch was great fun and when one of them is Melli the fun multiplies exponentially.
- National Missionary Conference in Indianapolis. This is always a highlight of our year as we get to meet up with old friends and hear wonderful reports of what God is doing all over the world.
- Christmas in Canada. Christmas is always so much more fun with the family. We always look forward to seeing our children and being a small part of their world. It was fun to meet their friends and see their cozy home and help them get ready for the arrival of our first grandchild.

It is just the END of our year seemed to have a bad ending but it is better today....Thank our good Lord for looking out after my Dad!! Guess Lucy was not that fortunate!!
I am so glad that you are back home and please keep in touch..Miss you as always.

Daisy - The Blog Olympics was #1 for me because of our collaberation. We need to put on our thinking caps for 2007.
AWWWW Daisy! I am honored to be included in your list. The feeling is mutual and I can't wait until we can get together again!
A new grandbaby in January! What day is the expected event? My birthday is in January too although I no longer celebrate the birthday... just the anniversary of my 30th birthday! ;)
