Happy New Year!

I am hoping and praying this is a better year for alot of our family. There's been alot of them with real struggles the past year or 2.
Let's look forward to alot of family gatherings, too. Maybe another Maddox meet, and let's make the reunion work this year. And it would be fun to do on-the-spot meets. Call, Facebook, email, whatever, but just get the word out "Hey! Let's meet at ______restaraunt in _____ city this saturday at 6PM, everyone that can make it!".
Thanks to the 2 cousins that keep me posting this blog(Miriam & Bev). I'm not so sure anyone else ever reads this, but I STILL like it better than FaceBook.
I miss all my family up in Washington. Don't know if any of you ever read this, but if you do, please don't feel left out. I talk about family down here alot, but you all are non the less important to us. Hopefully will make it up that way this summer to see everyone.

Happy New Year, Rick! Just thought I would let you know that I read this all the time and enjoy it immensely. I don't feel left out t all....boo hoo hoo! Just kidding. Hopefully, we can get together again this summer. Had a great time last year when yo and Janet were at Denise;s. And seeing Lane was and extra special surprise.

I love that we could just all meet on the spur of the moment. That would have to mean that I would have to get up off of my butt, put real clothes on and go out into the world of traffic and crowds. I'm such a homebody and bore..... But, I will try for you. Just a forewarning. Brad and I will be in Washington DC this year during the Kellogg reunion. Hey, I didn't plan it that way, just how life goes!.

Love ya.
