Jumping on the top 12 bandwagon

because after all its now 2012!

Secrets is about meeting my mom's birth side of the family

and the feelings that went with it.
Of course it resides in my Roots journal that
has been blown out into 3 albums.

 Smug mug is a favorite of mine because of course

its a great pix of me (I really take bad pix)
 and that of my fav youngest son.

 My grandson who is a hoot and this shot was so

funny and lucky! I miss him and think about
him often.

 My DH took me on a wild ride through DC to get

some night shots. It was a lot of fun.

 This was soooo special - meeting the family in NYC

and dining at Bobby Flays which was

delicious btw. 

But it was a family event that made my heart sing.

 My babies whom I lost so close together and miss

more than I thought imaginable.

 My brother who somehow didn't make it into many

of my albums. In the process of rectifying that.

 Some of the travels DH and I took. We have a

blast of course and the sights are so amazing.

 Yosemite was breathtaking. 

 And taking moody shots at Balboa Park was

so inspiring.

 I couldn't wait to get to San Francisco. 

And of course have 3M shots of the golden gate bridge

and Alcatraz. It couldn't be helped.

 An Old Town never ceases to get old.

I almost feel like an artist hanging there.

I have such a wonderful life! 

2011 was an amazing year and I feel so blessed

especially traveling and hanging with DH and family

and I know 2012 is going to rock!

Have a Blessed and Happy New Year!
