Happy New Year

With great expectations for 2009, I say adieu to 2008!!

At this time of year I always remember the photograph my father took
of my sister and I for our family holiday greeting,newyear612I am dressed in a diaper as 1961 and my sister is dressed as an old man for 1960. It was all in great fun.

Happy New Year
