Welcome to Twenty Eleven. Yes that is the way to say it correctly and so let's start off the new year correctly. I hope to have better health this year. Hope all my problems will subside and that Donna and I can have another great year of marriage. This year will be our 39th in September so we have a while to wait but things are going well for us and we really enjoy our new location and friends. May the year be good to you as well and may our service to God be in keeping with his Word and Love.

Boy the economy is terrible. Spent the day at the mall in Raleigh today. I had to take my Mac in for help from the Genius Joey Brown. He fixed it but while doing so we shopped in the mall. It was packed. And I do mean PACKED. We went to a store named Belk which is like Nordstrom only with better sales and selection. It was crazy. People spending hundreds of dollars buying things for themselves as well as gifts. I got an Overcoat I needed for the local weather which is colder than normal this year. Hear that Al Gore? The locals say it is normally 20 degrees higher than this winter. Donna was lucky to find her favorite jeans and on sale so she got a couple of pairs. Tried to get her to get some "Berry" = Purple cords but she didn't go for it. We hope all of you have a great holiday and I'll close with my saying for the year. BUY!
