Wishing All A Happy New Year...!

Here is wishing the New Year is the best ever for all of my dear friends. The passing of the old year has been marked with so many changes for many of us that we can only hope the Upcoming New Year is filled with nothing but good!

So with that in mind, I wish for each and every one of you the very best in the future.

PEACE, LOVE and most of all...

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR...!!!

I just have one thing to say today...and I think you all know what it is.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

I want to thank each and everyone for hanging with me over the past year. You will probably never know just how much I appreciate it ! Believe me, you mean the world to me...REALLY !

A special thanks to Momlady for the care package and to Jo, who is always there to give me a hug when I need it! Hugs for everyone this morning ! OK?

A heaping platter of cookies and coffee are waiting in the kitchen today !!!

Happy New Year...!

I hope that everyone has a safe and Happy New Year!

Most of all, be safe...be happy...and be back! OK?

Well, We Made It...!

Well, despite everything that has happened this past year...here we are!

More than likely 2012 will be talked about, wondered about, and joked about for a long time to come! Many, many changes and surprises, some good and some bad...but I guess the same thing could be said for all the years past. I'm sure that we all have moments that stand out for us this last year. I know I did!

I guess that the best thing for me in 2012 was all the new friends I've made, mostly  from blogging. As you can guess, I don't go out very much. My choice, I might add! I just believe that being in a crowded public place can greatly increase the chance of being caught up in situations that often turn out badly. That is certainly one thing that 2012 has shown us, right?

I was looking back at my stats today, just to see how much has changed since my first post. I started blogging back on November 17th in 2007. As of this writing, I've made 1869 published post. More surprising to me was the fact that this blog has had a total of 343,040 page views! I have no idea where that many folks come from, but I reckon that many of those views are just from searches or something similar!

 Let me state again how much it pleasures me that so many of you have chosen to make me a regular on your reading list! I hope you continue to find some enjoyment in dropping by and sharing a cup of coffee on the patio! Lord knows I wouldn't be here without you!

Let me leave you to celebrate the New Year with your friends and family! However, I couldn't leave without showing you a picture of my cat "Buddy" and the playmate I got for him...a young lady cat aptly named "Kitty!" Boy, these two really play well together! Makes me tired to watch them!

Coffee in the kitchen today! Baking bread again and I love the smell!

 Happy New Year, everyone!

My Wishes For Your New Year...!

I hope you all have a great New Year and that all your hopes come true!

Thank you for your support during this past year, my friends!

Throughout the rest of this Year and all of 2011..

May you always make the right moves.


May your cup runneth over with love.



May you always find shelter from any storm.



May you remain good looking and looking good!



May you find the perfect diet for your soul.(If this face doesn't make you want to stop eating sausage, nothing will.)



May you find perfect balance in the company you keep.



May you have as much fun as you can before someone makes you stop.



May you manage to make time for siesta.



May all the new folks you meet be interesting and kind.



May your accessories always harmonize with your natural beauty!



Should your mouth be bigger than your stomach, may you have a chewing good time!



May you always know when to walk away and know when to run.



And may your friends always bring you joy!



Wishing a very safe and happy New Year for you all!

Peace and Love from the Hermit, my friends!
