Happy New Year..2006
My, how time flies. I think we did a very good job this holiday season..stress was minimal, food was plentiful and the company outstanding. Thank you all very much!
Leo made some progress with the new room..sheetrocking and taping. DA, the covered little yellow chair in the photo is where the fish pond used to be in the old sunroom if that gives you any perspective on the lay out. I've really really been enjoying sitting in there this year, flames flickering, reading or doing Sudoku. It's WARM in there as well...it sure makes a huge difference; that room was so cold in the winter, more impression because of it's openness but I do recall using a lot of throws in the past winters.
New Years Eve we had an impromptu dinner with the rowdy neighbors. Yeah, we all made it to 10:30-11:00pm. Shrimp, beef, broccoli, carrots, twice baked potato, cherry topped cheesecake...I just love it when we all gather up stuff we just happen to have around the old kitchen.
Of course the jokes started:
What are the 3 big lies in (enter disparaged town of your choice)
1. The trailer is paid for
2. I didn't know she was my sister
3. I was just helping that sheep over the fence.
Snort....
Greg and I stayed up to see the New Year in, sort of. I had to check out Dick Clark to see how he is doing post stroke (not bad), then kept one eye on the projection clock as it flicked 0:00. Happy New year, snore.
Last evening we had another round of visiting with friends..well they had to come see our flames. Presents were exchanged..who knew there were flamingo shaped watering cans and of course, we encouraged everyone with Sudoku books of their very own. The kids went off to enjoy cable TV since they don't live in the big city and get maybe one local station on their TV; we, however, engaged in meaningful conversation...at one point, their middle child wandered in to find us all intent on our own books of Sudoku. I don't think she bought the telepathy form of communication. What a rowdy bunch.
So, Happy New Year, all... may your year all be filled with Good Health, Prosperity, Happiness and Sudoku!
