Another new year! They seem to be coming so much faster now...........SLOW DOWN!
It seems so strange to be home this week after Christmas. We generally are in warm Kiawah, SC this week. On NYE, we are used to being with our family watching the fireworks over the Atlantic Ocean as we sit on the boardwalk burying our bare toes in the sand. BUT NOT THIS YEAR. Because I am rewired, we do not HAVE to travel over the holidays any longer unless we choose to. But... it still feels odd.
Instead, on the 28th, we all went to Jenny's new home and enjoyed a meal she prepared for us using old family recipes. It was wonderful! Papaw Pete's special roast beef and Grandma Holland's wilted lettuce salad. YUM What a great new tradition!! Her tree was magnificant! It used to be our big tree but it never looked this good at OUR house! She also used the new table accessories we got her for Christmas. After dinner she hooked our laptop up to a basketball game streaming and we were able to watch Wright State win the Dr Pepper Tounament in Chattanooga on her TV!! GO RAIDERS! WOOHOO!
My brother Bill traveled back from Michigan to visit with us the day before New Years. Our whole family gathered again at Mom's and enjoyed each other. We played games, worked jigsaw puzzles, and just chatted away the evening.
New Years Eve was at the country club with old and new friends, dancin' music, and great food. HAPPY 2008 EVERYONE!
