Happy late Thanksgiving and early Merry Christmas!

What a challenging and rewarding year 2013 has been. I will hope and pray that your year was one to remember as opposed to one that is that can’t be over soon enough. I like to focus on the positives so here are a few of my 2013 best thoughts:

*My son Ben graduated from Mizzou and was awarded a scholarship to attend Virginia Techs Graduate program in Turfgrass Science. (Thank God he got his mothers brains)
*My daughter continues to excel in Nursing at Rockhurst University. (Mother’s brains and looks…sorry Ben!)
*My wife Liz and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with a trip to New Orleans. (4 days is enough for me in that town)
*We were able to move our business into a larger location. (Page and Warson area. About 3 miles west of our old location)
*2 nieces and 1 nephews’ family are having babies in 2014.

One sad note was the passing of my Mother-in-law. I was there when she left. It was sad and a beautiful thing knowing she wasn’t in pain anymore. She will be missed, but never forgotten. She literally helped change my life.

2014 can be what you make of it. I’m going to try to get a little healthier physically and spiritually. I’m going to attend my first White House Retreat and will give the 20 Minutes to Fitness workout a try. (Thank you Kim and Alan for the push!).

Look for my once a year mailing in late February for suggestions on what to do with your lawn applications on 2014. Please send me questions or come on by and visit the new building. (we have bird seed this year to offer!) It probably won’t be very exciting, but I will make an effort to make it so!

Be safe this Holiday Season and I hope to see you all soon,
