Moapa Valley Progress
When I accepted the assignment to poll people in Moapa Valley about their New Year Resolutions I thought, at first, that it would be quick. Over and done. One second flat. How wrong I was. Despite the rain and the last minute Christmas preparations, folks were very eager to discuss their resolutions.
I will confess I join with several who don’t make resolutions, or forget them as soon as they make them. But after talking with many celebrants, I have decided that I will make a resolution for 2011 – still thinking. Talked with Cindy Magestro who had just come back from a cruise who eagerly advised me that they had planned on going through the Panama Canal but that it was closed down – first time in 50 years! They made other plans – she was still in cruise mode and would have to think further on the subject. Caught up with Vic Erickson in Ace Hardware and he advised that he and his lovely bride, Lois, will be married 59 years in February. His resolution is “to take even better care of his bride.” Local Real Estate lady, Elaine Chorlton, resolved to “To take a deep breath everyday and to make a daily affirmation.” I end – still thinking.
