| We had great weather for our end of year picnic! The kids could play, we could visit, and we were even perfumed in nearby chicken bar-b-q!! |

| "I felt like I was not alone." |
“I was new to the area and appreciated making new friends here.”
“I could only come to two events, but the November party had a lot of meaning for me.”
“I felt like I’m not alone. I love the time in scripture.”
 |
| "I felt a bond with the ladies." |
“LIFT was here for my when we lost our baby. When you’re drowning in the ocean, you can’t survive alone. With help, I felt like I was walking on water.”
“I felt a bond with the ladies.”
Lori started and ended our year with this poem:
It was spring, but it was summer I wanted,
The warm days, and the great outdoors.
It was summer, but it was fall I wanted,
The colorful leaves, and the cool, dry air.
It was autumn, but it was winter I wanted,
The beautiful snow, and the joy of the holiday season.
I was a child, but it was adulthood I wanted,
The freedom, and the respect.
I was twenty, but it was thirty I wanted,
To be mature, and sophisticated.
I was middle-aged, but it was thirty I wanted,
The youth, and the free spirit.
I was retired, but it was middle-age that I wanted,
The presence of mind, without limitations.
My life was over,
But I never got what I wanted.
