Happy New Year! It’s that time when we dust off our desks, focus on the future and decide where 2012 will take us. I find it helpful to consider the year that I’m closing out but not so much that it limits my invention of the year to come. What worked well? What didn’t? What will I commit to do in the year to come? Here’s a glimpse into our 2011.
- Road Trips
- Summer Day
- The Party
- Mandala created for the Dalai Lama
- Gratitude to My Friends and Readers
- Rafting on the Deschutes
- Starting the year with a Family Hike
- Key West
- They do grow up fast
- Peruvian Adventure
- My Mountain Bikers
- Ahhh, the Puget Sound
- An Educational Spring Break
- Fresh from our CSA
- Fastest Guy to Round the Bases
