Here are my memories from 2008. 2008 was a hard year for me as I lost my father in May. I hope you enjoy reading a little of what life was like here in my corner of the world and share a look back on the year 2008 with me.
~A good book I read~
Abram's Daughters by Beverly Lewis
~A great film/movie I watched~
I loved all the Jane Austin series that PBS did, especially Persuasion.
~A new place I visited~
The Hotel Bethlehem
~An inspiring verse or quote I read~
"I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere to go. My own wisdom, and that of all about me, seemed insufficient for the day." Abraham Lincoln
~A discovery I made~
Facebook! Love it! If you want to become friends on Facebook, let me know and I'll send a friend request to you!
~A new skill I acquired~
I started my blog...Walking on Sunshine Recipes was created!
~A lesson I learned~
To always tell the people you love, that you love them!
~A moment I will always remember~
Seeing my father at the bottom of those stairs and saying goodbye to him.

Hi Lois, I so love the Abraham Lincoln quote! And I loved reading your list of 25 things. My youngest daughter is very shy. It took me some time to understand her as our older three girls are very outgoing. She has to feel comfortable with a person and then she really opens up.
It is always so nice to visit with you!
