Happy New Year!

We lucked out and went out for a night of fun New Years Eve at the home of Linda and Steve Cuevas. Our gracious hosts had a lovely spread of Corned Beef (symbolizing 'health') and Cabbage (symbolizing 'wealth') plus Hoppin' John. We all grazed, drank tasty alcoholic beverages, and rocked out to classic tunes. Steve and Linda's sons, Andrew and Joseph treated us to a wild and beautiful fireworks display while we warmed ourselves by a toasty bonfire. Poor little Toto was a nervous wreck and stayed indoors until all the booms and pops were over.

Susan brought her favorite toy--a green laser, and by the light of the blue Moon, pointed out the stars of Orion and the Pleides. It was great seeing all of our close buds, Candace and Todd, Marcus and Jo, John Blue, and Linda's Mom and Pop. It was wonderful and I am grateful to have been saved from watching all those terrible and depressing New Years Eve TV show. Here's to a happy and prosperous new year!
