December 29th, 2011…. goodness gracious it’s the end of the year, and {surprise!} we’re not “done” yet but that doesn’t mean we haven’t “done” anything. Oh quite the contrary. We’ve been busting booty over here on Madison Square all year and it’s time to look at the glass as half-full. (Don’t forget that last New Years Eve we were still showering in the basement!*)

Here’s a month-by-month highlight of some of our projects.

Whew… no wonder the last 365 days flew by. Good thing next year is leap year…

* In general this post is directed to me because I feel like nothing has happened this year when in fact, Kelly, if you look back at your own blog, www.madisonsquare.wordpress.com, you may notice that is not the case. So happy new year!!
