New Year's Eve

With the quiet times we've had this week, I haven't taken the time to wish everybody a Happy New Year. So, Happy New Year!

We will attempt to stay up to bring in the new year but, if previous years' history holds true, we will be asleep long before midnight. Maybe we will still get up before the clock strikes 12 and celebrate anyway. I bought some champagne just in case. I can remember the days when New Year's eve was a big event for us and we would go out to dinner and dance to music from a live band until all hours of the morning. Do people still do that today?

It will be a different story - probably - when Patty and her family (those who are still near home) can join in for some family fun for New Year's. Our plan to stay near home for the foreseeable future will help in planning some fun events down the road. There may even come a time when all the Reeds can join in for some New Year's cheer.

Josie is only scheduled to work two days in January which has caused some serious concern about her future at the Sun City shop. The owner misunderstood her when Josie talked to her about our new plans. For some reason, she thought we would be gone for most of January. Oh, well - Valentine's Day is not far off so I'm sure Josie will be back to a heavy schedule in February.

Have a great night everybody and we will see you in the next decade...
