It's early morning, on a relative scale, as by this time I have usually been up for 3 hours or so, but slept in til 7 today. Whoo!

The last day of the year, a few more days of vacation. Its been a windy cold week. Not to hospitable for being outdoors and the snow on the road makes running a challenge.

I am not much for doing end of the year recaps and Debbie warned me about doing too much thinking on vacation after my shadow disappearing post.

The sun is gently coming up, the air is calm. A couple of rabbits and squirrels have been about in the yard. The house is quiet, the stove busily pumping out heat. The calm before the storm as we are hosting a New Years party for a group of teens tonight, so in a bit it will be time to finish up the lists and start the prep and ready the caffeine for a long night. ;-)

I may post again as I seek shelter from the din, but if not, wishing all who pass this way a peaceful and bountiful New Years, in more ways than just the material.

OH what fun!!! A houseful of teens on New Years Eve! Brings back memories of the mid-late 90's when our kids were in High School - we had a lot of parties here - we loved having them and they were all so nice and respectful of our home. No beer or liquor aloud, but they had a great time playing pool and ping pong, listening to music, dancing and watching games on TV. Those were special times for us. We would rather have the kids here then worry about where they were... I hope they all have a wonderful time, I know they will!! Happy New Year to you and your wife and all those kiddos and I hope the new year will bring you the best of what life has to offer!! ...debbie
