Yesterday Jeff, Sicksta Adele and I went to Southern Pines, NC. for the annual Pinecone drop.

The event started at 6pm with music, clowns, magic and food.

Check out the scene in the short video below.

The festivities ended at 8pm with the Pine cone drop..

Fun! Check out the short video below

2011 was bittersweet…

We had great times with family and friends.

Fun traveling.

I lost my precious Balliecat in June.

Here's a picture of silly Ballie caught with the evidence after tasting my salad.

I miss my boy…

We had A big scare with nephew Colin in October..

Thank goodness for those who responded quickly and got him to the hospital.

and Thanks again to all of you who sent prayers and caring his way.

Colin is doing amazingly well. After Christmas in Connecticut we brought Colin back to Pittsburgh and his last appointment with his surgeon. He was given a clean bill of health..with just a lingering minor hearing issue.

I want to end this post..with Colin's heartfelt words and thanks from his facebook status…to all that helped him thru this ordeal.

It brought tears to our eyes when we read it…

So this is a start to my epic. Some would call it a chapter in my life that I bookmarked, something that should be continued. I look at it like the book series 'fellowship of the ring' in almost certain death I found life, new friends, old friends, companions, and most of all... family. Old family and new. But like an epic story it has only begun. The rest of it will be filled with ups and downs conflict and hatred but most of all love and longing. Just know everyone out there that your thoughts, as small or great is it was, or love as pure, and prayers as strong as you made them helped me through this ordeal. I feel bad that it took me to get close to dying to get me back to what I now know is pure. My injury didn't make me realize this, my friends and family did. My aunt dawn and my uncle jeff helped more than i could have ever asked for. Not because i am my mothers son, but because they care for me. As it pained me to leave my father, and how it pains me now to know my mother is leaving, I know they love me dearly and I hope.. although I don't say it much.. that they know I feel the same for them.
