Hope you had fun on New Year’s Eve. I had a very tame New Year’s Eve. When you get to be a woman of a certain age, like me, tame is okay. I’ve already done my share of partying. My last real New Year’s shindig, MC Hammer was singing “Can’t Touch This” over the speaker. Stop laughing.
My partying days are long gone. Last night, for instance, my “partying” consisted of watching Kathie Lee and Hoda on TV pretending to have fun at a New Year’s party. Whoop- di- doo! I went to bed at 10:30. I figured New York would drop the ball whether I was watching or not.
I was sleeping peacefully until a boom woke me up around midnight. A neighbor shot off some fireworks, or my husband was reacting to the mushroom puffs he’d eaten earlier in the evening. Either way, excitement was definitely in the air, at least momentarily.
Have a Happy 2017 that’s full of life, laughter, and love. God Bless and Party On…

We combine our anniversary celebration (December 29) with our New Years Eve celebration. This year we went to our favorite fancy restaurant, and then because we couldn’t agree on what movie to see, came home and watched a DVD my husband received for Christmas. It was highlights from the World Series. My husband has waited his whole life for the Cubs to win. We both enjoyed the games this year, so it was a celebration times two!
Congratulations on your anniversary, and on the Cubs win. Sounds like an awesome way to celebrate the New Year!
