Farewell 2011, and Welcome 2012

The past year has been full of tragedies, dramas, comedies and some good things, too.  I can’t help but wonder what will 2012 hold for us that will top all the newsworthy moments of 2011? I hope the events are good, with peace, prosperity and good health bestowed on my family and friends.
