ringing in the new year


We had a lovely visit with our friends from Valders on the 2nd, and have planned a spring 'do' to celebrate birthdays (we have 7 in the family.) I left the menu for our New Year's Party up to Paul, and he decided to go very casual. He has worked harder (for more gigs) than any other year, so he wanted to relax and unwind. Our friends are so cool and go along with the flow, so we had Mom's horseradish burgers and James' new favorite sweet pepper cheese ball. We also had the usual fruits and veggies and also a great chocolate chip meringue bar. It was wonderful catching up. The folks always take great vacations, and they shared photos and stories. Now we look forward to Saturday, when we pack and leave for our 'Vegas Vacation' with the girls. We are going to the Titanic exhibition, as well as some really great concerts, but I have to be secretive in case Eva (the birthday girl) reads this:) More to come...
Photo is from 2000...nice memory.
