Helen's challenge 72.

Her journaling:
I had such high hopes for 2009! determined that it was going to be our year! In many ways this wasn't "to be-" it was a tough, tough year and a lot of what we had in mind didn't go according to plan. Hubby's business suffered a lot of setbacks due to the recession, the antiquated machinery he had been dumped with and a problematic workforce. Praise God! the additional finance he needed to "raise the Titanic" finally came through in November. Another great thing! Our factory in Zimbabwe finally sold in December and we found a home here in Kwa-Zulu Natal - which we plan to make an offer on. Chelsea and Jack passed their year-end exams & Reilly and Camie both received "academic progress" badges. Here's hoping for a better 2010!
