Happy New Year to all!!!! Wow, what a year huh? Up and down and up and down......Although the market ended down in all areas, my year ended on an "up" note. Those two champagne glasses you see there aren't just to wish you a great new year with much prosperity, growth and health; but also to celebrate the fact that I am officially engaged to the man I've loved for some time now!!! Yes, Joe asked me to marry him Christmas morning. I have never been so blown away in my life! For those of you who know him, you know what I mean by that. : ) And for those of you who know me in any form or fashion know where I'm coming from on my end. I am very excited.

I ask for your prayers and thoughts be with Joe and all those who are serving throughout the holidays and all days. And remember, I totally, completely and without waiver support our troops!! So, Happy New Year to you and yours and remember too, that if you don't stand behind our troops, then by all means stand in front of them.

Now, enjoy a good cup of coffee, it may be the only thing we can afford right now. : )

Take care, Sherry
