And Away Goes 2007!

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2008!

Last night we attended the annual neighborhood New Year's Eve party at Tim & Jan's. They are the hostessess with the mostesses to quote Jerry. It's so nice to be able to have a glas of champaigne at midnight and not have to worry about driving home. Our neighborhood has well maintained sidewalks and althought it is somewhat of a small "hood", seems you are never alone if you are outside - joggers, dog walkers, midnight gardners.

But back to the party....Aunt Hellen & Les returned from visiting Aunt Mary & Uncle Larry and went with us to the party. Hellen prepared a fabulous potato salad (I am picky about potato salad) and Tim fixed his traditional "big ass ham" (phrased coined by his wife Jan) and it was excellent, again. Lots of socializing until the count down (where was Dick Clark?) and then after much hugging and kissing at midnight, the dancing started. It was a great time. Met some new neighbors and caught up with old ones.

Not a lot of fire works this year - possibly due to enforcement of some laws from a couple years ago or possibly due to the balmy weather last night. If was warm (most people wearing shorts & short sleeves) plus there was a humid haze.
The photo includes Jer, Les & Hellen in their party hats. Les couldn't seem to keep his "man" hat on so we crowned him with a tiarra! LOL
