This week a beloved Aunt left this world. She had recently celebrated her 80th birthday and had become a great grandmother. She will be missed.
In her memory and as we turn into 2014, I wish each of you the blessings of a new year, new starts, and new opportunities.
An Irish Blessing
Happy (and safe) New Year,
Kimba
What a nice tribute to Mary Ann. She was indeed one of a kind.
Indeed she was. A force to be reckoned with, remind you of anyone?

My heart is with you and your whole family now that your beloved Aunt has passed on. Thank you for sharing this blessing, Kimba. One I first heard when a near centennial passed on. A very special, and Irish man I remember fondly.
Thank you for stopping by Nell, and many blessing to you too.
