Happy New Year

Christmas is over and it was wonderful. On my birthday, the 29th, we had 8 for a simple dinner, but on Sunday the 3rd we will have 28 for a "before and after" party, just hors d'oeuvres and desserts-that is my idea of heaven.

Then, when I get my bathroom scale fixed, I will weigh myself-now it says I weigh 101 and that is about 40 pounds light!!! I love it though. So, in reality, I won't be able to tell how much I gained over the holidays-yippee!!

It is snowing right now and so lovely-we are not going out tonight so it does not matter to us. The big blizzard is supposed to pass us by, only dumping about 2 inches on us. Just enough to be beautiful.

Happy New Year to you all. Talk to you next year.

Christmas is almost here

Can't believe my last blog was a month ago. We has just tagged our tree. Well it is set up and beautiful in our front hallway. We can see it from both our dining /family room and the parlor. We love the new spot for the tree!!

Our plan to drive to NYC in our 1929 Model A has been cancelled. Richard finally realized that it would be too dangerous after a close call the other day in it. So my annual birthday party on the 29th which was moved to Jan 3, will still remain on the 3rd. Not quite the same, but will be fun anyway. Richard makes eggnog from his mother's recipe and it is out of this world. I can't wait to drink some.

That huge snowstorm that blanketed the East coast missed us-and I can't say I am sad about that. We can get out and don't have to shovel first!! It missed both of my sister's too, one in Connecticut and one in Vermont. But our kids in NYC and LI got it.

Probably the last communication you will get from me before Christmas, so Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.
