its net of wonder forever."—Jacques Cousteau

Happy New Year 2012

What a wonderful year 2011 was...we celebrated our thirtieth wedding anniversary in July and we spent seven absolutely amazing months on our boat...exploring every little nook and cranny the ICW had to offer from our home town in Texas to Philadelphia. We saw some wonderful places, small towns and big cities, but unfortunately there were a few we missed. There just wasn't time to see everything this time around...that just gives us a reason to go back.

We look forward to 2012 and all the new adventures it has to offer. So many new places to explore, people to meet and experiences to soak in. Our hope for the New Year is that everyone can learn to follow their dreams...no matter where they take them. Take a chance, cast off the lines, cruise into the sunset and experience everything life has to offer.

This is the birthday card Stan gave me (actually an anniversary card he modified) It read: The adventure continues...Happy Anniversary of Your Birthday. Stay turned as the adventure continues in 2012.
