mrsD I would have loved to see that! Must have been very interesting to see.

Family is gone...putting on my party hat.

Happy New year to all. It's been New Years day for quite a few hours now here in my part of Aus!
We didn't need to have fireworks to celebrate here, we had our own thunder and lightning show from 10pm until after midnight...it was a pretty big storm! lol
Not that I stayed up late...I didn't! But I was lying in bed while the storm was making plenty of light and noise, and I couldn't sleep anyway because it was so hot and humid!
But now, it's a new day, a new year, and a little bit cooler!

DH and I shot off some dynamite sticks in the backyard after he emptied the shotgun shells into the air. (We get so much surplus you know.) Now we're working on our third case of Falstaff. Ah, New Year's Eve, it's such a festive day for us.

soooooo

did ya all party

hubby and I were empty nesters for the first time in 23 years, so we celebrated the end of 2009 with his favorite meal of meatloaf, mashed potatoes, peas 'n gravy, and toasted the coming new year in with our cocoa
We got Happy New Year texts from son's at midnite......tho I confess I was asleep already while watching the TV when the clock struck and the ball dropped


our neighborhood sure was hoppin' tho with fireworks starting as soon as it got dark and continuing till around 1 am....cats took up residence in closets till it was all over!I was so tired I managed to doze thru most of it

Wishing everyone a Happy, healthier, peaceful and more prosperous 2010

Sorry guys and gals, I drank all the Asti, myownself..hic,,secuze me!

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you all know I was joking a bit there. My biggest event last night was having a couple glasses of champagne while DH dozed in his chair. Sometimes it's hard to tell when I'm kidding. We don't even have any dynamite. (Anymore. Since the accident.)
