HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Here it is, January 2, 2008. Hard to believe another year has passed.

It's cold. We had two snow storms that dumped 5 inches or so each on us New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. So B snow blowed and we were fine. It's kinda scary... is this global warming???? If so, why so cold??? And now they tell us that it will warm up later on into the 50's. Well, right now its **&&%%$ cold... 7 degrees and it's windy so heaven knows what the wind chill is. This is why so may go south... "snow birds" even if they "reside" here they take off for 2 or 3 months to South Carolina or Florida. Not us.... but it is Damn cold!!!!

Spent today putting away the Christmas decorations. Took them down over the past two days and today they went into storage under the steps on the lower level. It's a very "exacting' task... got to fit things together... no spaces left over... get as much as you can in the little space. I had "weeded" things out giving stuff to the Hospital Store in early December. Now I have some more things to donate next year. Then there were the gifts we got at Target and such for next year's Christmas Eve party. So now we are back to "normal" what ever that is. The decorations are gone and with the tree down I will be able to see the TV again in the living room.

And looking back, it was a good year. We had no major sicknesses and we managed to get along and not yell at each other too much. We got stuff done around the house and donated time and energy to the local library. We kept in contact with friends and nurtured new friends and made more new friends. All and all, it was a good year. And we hope it was for you, too.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
