Happy New Year!!!





"Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on,
with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us."
Hal Borland


I had a really hard time deciding which photo to use for the City Daily Photo Theme Day...
Photo of the Year

Well...I chose this one because it makes me think of endings and beginnings...
like the last Eve of the year morphing into New Year's Day...


But then...

how could I skip over...


...a nostalgic capture of the Alex theater...
...one of my favorite old haunts from my youth...


...but then...
...REALLY...
how could Grandma skip over...


...Addie's swim lesson....


...or Kasey's visit???



And there's no way I could skip...


Kelly and her Papa...
