There's:- Colin's graduation from high school and his move to the University of Illinois-Springfield
- Meeting up with blog pallies Lola, CardioGirl, and A. Marie
- Joe and his two left feet
- The mystery goose who showed up on my porch one chilly morning
- The Marching Astros
- The Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra outings with Ted and his family
- Our Disney trip with the Marching Astros
- The trapping of the raccoons (and the opossum) and using coyote urine as a deterrent
- The frogs, of course
It was a good year, 2010, which brought a lot of major changes for our family. Lots of them were good, and honestly, I can't think of too many bad at the moment. It's hard to figure out the events and the photos that best represent the year because so many things happen in those 365 days, but I'd like to think that I chose lots of silly moments to remember it by.
By far, here is my favorite video and song of the year. I swear if my life had a theme song, it is this:
And no year-end retrospective would be complete without the Dead List. As morbid as it may be, the Duck and Wheel would like to take a moment to remember those we have lost this year:

I enjoyed all your family photos along with your garden critters and of course kitties, but I must admit, Ed was truly one of my most favourite posts of your blog for 2010. :)
Happy New Year Lin!

Happy New Year! What a year!!!
Happy New Year favorite bloggy pally and family and Hobbes and Grace!!!
I am so NOT clicking on that video.
Very cool to be able to retrospect the year thru images. When done this way, each jogs immediately to the events feelings of the moment. I'm always amazed when I scroll thru a year in 5 minutes. Geez that went fast *#?!+ It WAS a very good year, Lin. Here's to raccoons, band, ponds, snow, and of course martini's! Happy New Year! Fran's Dad
Every year has its ups and downs but it looks like overall you guys had a good one! Great to have "been" there with you to hear about it all this past year!
I hope you all have a very Happy New Year!
I have enjoyed your year through your blog! That video is one of my favorites too. Hope you and all your family have a New Year filled with happiness, love and good health! Hugs to Grace and Hobbes!
A year of many changes for you! Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

A very Happy New Year to you and the cast and crew of Duck and Wheel. Duke and I love you guys.
Wishing you all the best in the new year!!
Happy New Year Lin. I'm looking forward to next year's posts.

Happy New Year, your blog has been one of my highlights of the year!

Marilynne--And I look forward to yours as well. I keep checking on you to see if you have a new story for me. :) Happy New Year, pally!
Nellie--I think if we met, we would totally crack each other up and be totally obnoxious together. I'm just waiting for that beast to pull up in my driveway in Weirdville and we can just hang out and put our piggies in the pond. Let me know when you are coming.... :) In the meantime--Happy New Year and I look forward to more fun adventures with you two wacky kids!
Alisa--Hey! Where's the "A.Marie" button???! I've been wondering where you are. :) Meeting you in person was definitely a highlight, my friend. (Did you see the photo??!) Let's be sure to do that again! Happy New Year to you and that beautiful family of yours!
Highway--WHAT???! Now don't be stealing that song as your theme for your blog. ;0 I thoroughly enjoy checking in on your blog--it always cracks me up!! So glad I found ya--or did you find me???? Either way--Happy New Year, pally!
You said, "we see enough of them each day" (referring to Hobbes and Grace). There are never enough Hobbes and Grace.
Look at you with the retrospective! Awesome, I love the fact that I remember all of those events -- booyah!
I just wish I were as photogenic as you are missy.
I still love that Coyote Urine photo with Joe's hand waiting to do the Price Is Right sales-pitch hand wave.
