New Years Eve

[Old Rogue]

Spent the evening with our #2 daughter, her fiance, and his parents. They grilled rib eyes and we had a very nice meal. Guess I'm showing my age, got home around 10, fell asleep on the couch, woke up around 11:30 and went to bed without seeing the ball drop.

Ended up stripping paint (me) and wiring (husband) until about 9:30PM, showered, called my parents, watched the first part of the Twin Towers Lord of the Rings movie while sipping mulled wine, then watched the ball drop. A good, productive, fun day.

Rang it in with two good friends, good beer, champagne at midnight and watching the Dick Clark thingy on TV. Just wore jeans and a tee but had a good fedora on hand. The town was hopping, a nice mildly boisterous vibe out on the streets.

but when the New Year rang in and we were surrounded by people kissing, that was a bit awkward lol

I would have smooched you up just for the halibut....

We went downtown for an early dinner, watched the local NYE parade and visited with friends. Really nice community/neighborhood vibe - lots of families and people we knew who came downtown to check out the scene. All went well till I greeted the Chief of Police with a hug - he was in uniform and as I moved my hand off his shoulder, the point on one of the gold stars punctured my hand and II started bleeding. I figure that's gotta be good for one free get-out-of-jail-free card!

Cheers to everyone for a wonderful new year.

Yikes! I hope the cut wasn't too bad Lily!

Had the time of my life in the Holiday Inn style, as hoped for. All the 30 yards of a billowing 50s style chiffon petticoat worked hard and did they enhance the rock and roll!

We had a great evening - went to a gun show during the morning, then home for a late brunch and relaxing. Got cleaned up (husband wore a tuxedo & fedora, I wore a long evening gown), and headed downtown for a big band concert by the symphony. Box seats & cocktails beforehand. Then we walked through downtown to a steakhouse for 10:30 dinner reservations. More cocktails, split a porterhouse & potatoes au gratin, and rang in the New Year with champagne, party hats, noisemakers, and a balloon drop there in the restaurant. A good time had by all.

Wow! Sounds everyone had a great time. I had to work, very high census so asked to help out and got home at 0300 New Year's morning. Slept 6 hours turned around and went back to work for another 12. What a working way to start the New Year Whew!--John

Had a great New Year's Eve, lots of nice people, lots of good food and drink and when the clock turned 12 we turned off all the lights, laying the farm in total darkness and started up the fire works (I love fireworks). But since we've had the house full of people since the 23rd I must admitt that it is very, very nice to be just my girlfriend and me now that the last one of them has left for home
