2010 Wow! - We all made it.
For me, and the Powers Family, 2010 holds the promise of undiscovered truths just as 2009 presented us with challenges, rewards for the challenges we faced and met, and the increased awareness of our limitations and potentials.
In 2009, Jim graduated from the University of Tennessee at Martin with a bachelors degree in University Studies, John, Sherisa and Ethan moved from California to Tennessee and Jill, bless her pretty heart, keep us all focused and moving forward.
The first day of 2010 was dreary here on the top of the mountain, and this night promises to be very cold, in the low 20’s. The fire is lit in the wood stove, lots of wood brought in to prevent the trip outside to the woodshed at night, and we are all at peace with each other and the world around us. Oh…I forgot to mention that Sherisa is pregnant and Jill and I hope for a granddaughter…but will be thankful and blessed with a boy or a girl.
I have been accepted into the graduate school of Education at East Tennessee State University (ETSU) and I am very excited about the possibilities.
Our dog Tag “came up missing” don’t know where he went or who took him, but we think of him and hope he is well. Bubba D is in poor health, but is still with us - and - more spoiled than ever.
We look forward to the challenges and rewards of 2010 and wish all our friends and family a prosperous new year.
Jim
