2011 The Year That Was

Hi Everybuddy, this has just been the most wonderful time for us.  We have met some great friends and travelled all over the world through your posts.  Thanks for sharing with us.  We have also seen sad times too and that has shown us how Blogville looks after its own.  To each and every one of you furry and otherwise, we wish a Healthy, Happy and Contented New Year.  


This is our year in review.

Our Sissy and Brother went to Europe for a holiday.


Our Sissy, above, still works on the the Ghan .
 

Our Brother became a Biomedical Engineer
and was successful in getting a job in his field.


Our Daughter became a qualified Registered Nurse and has accepted a position at a large hospital.  Yay Laura!!
Our youngest Daughter successfully completed her Year 12 Certificate.  Yay Tessa!!
Our youngest Son successfully completed his 10th year of schooling.  Yay James!!

 
We had fun with our Poppa.





Our Dear Sweet Kara, passed to the Rainbow Bridge
We love and miss you sweetheart.




We had some frosty weather.


I joined the family.







Then I joined the family.









Tyler showed us how to play.


Learning how to get yummers.


Tyler, our Sissy's dog, is our best friend.

I'm getting bigger.


Before we could say cheese, Christmas was here.


New Years Eve was a blast.


So paw in hand, we say thanks for your friendship.

Looking forward to 2012.

No worries, and love, Carol, Stella, and Rory

    PeeS: The manatee skin does feel somewhat rubbery :) Unfortunately the scars are caused by boat propellers. Not everyone is as careful as they need to be. Thank goodness for those that are! :D

  30. PS-Did we tell you that our mommy had a tan Great Dane about 28 years ago. She was the best dog, but they had to give her away (when Mom & Dad got married 23years ago)beacause Daddy's Cocker Spaniel was scared to death of her. It was a sad day from what we are told, and lots of tears were shed. :>(
