Hours away from another year and all I can think of writing about is all the blessings the Lord has provided in the past year.  (I 'm a little frustrated, though. I wrote half of this post , lost it, and had to start fr om scratch again. So, I'm cutting the length of it back quit e a bit , as I've spent a lot of time on it already.) Since I havn't added to my gr atitude list in quite a w hile, I decided to write so me things over the last couple of weeks that I'm g rateful for , as well as some favorite pictures and what I'm thankful for in 2013.   1,561 - Being with family for Christmas. 1,562 - Bingo game gift exchange...a family tradition. 1, 56 3 -  Bringing in another year with my hubby. 1, 56 4 -   Being able to en joy eve rything that goes with living on the lake. 1 ,565 -  The last of the Coot s on the lake, right before it froze completely over.   1 ,56 6 - Watching the lake start to f reeze, as leaves blow over the top
