OK, everyone has a list at this time of year...the best song, album, movie, and so on. I believe it is wise to reflect on the year because it is a good way to rejuvenate the memories. It also gives us a sense of accomplishment as we close our another year of our lives. L
My TOP TEN list compiles my Top Ten Favorite Value Meals on the Volga Blog Updates of 2008. I'll start the countdown by publishing six today and will finish with the final four tomorrow. After all ten are posted, let me know your thoughts...did I miss one of your favorites?
Favorite Update #10
10) Mission Accomplished from Sat. March 8...My getaway weekend to The Boulders was the perfect way to recharge my batteries...I didn't go far, but the beautiful views and clay tennis courts took me a million miles away.
Favorite Update #9
9) In Mourning from Sat. September 27...My celebration of the life of Paul Newman...my family's memories of a great man summarized in one compilation.
Favorite Update #8
8) Miller Park and Memories from May 4...A visit to Milwaukee is not complete with the Milwaukee Brewers, my sister-in-law Lorie and a brat and beer. I have proven, you can go home again.
Favorite Update #7
7) Another Terrific Thursday from October 25...I love tennis so meeting Billie Jean King with my daughter was an extra special event. And, I heard one of my favorite quotes of the year..."The more you know about history, the more you know about yourself."
Favorite Update #6
6) Have you turned in your coloring contest entry yet? from January 7...This was final call for entries for a coloring contest to celebrate the new book Maggie Visits Grandpa. The coloring adventure continues to be a great way to get the next generation involved in family history.
Favorite Update #5
5) Terrific Thursday from October 16...OK, it wasn't all sports this year, but how could I not include meeting sports icon Joe Garagiola in my top ten? He made me laugh so hard I cried.
Final four will be posted tomorrow and, yes, I will write and post more photographs about Argentina. So much more to come in 2009!
