Christmas is over here comes New Years!!
26
Tue, 12-30-2008 - 11:55am

As usual we took down our Christmas decorations on the 26th inside our house and the outside lights down on Sunday. This is an old habit left over from when dh worked in retail and didn't want to see the decorations after it was over.  We had considered leaving the things up until the new year but since they will be starting the work on our house soon after Jan 1st from the water damage. We figured it was  best just to get it all put away.


Our Dgs had a great time on Christmas day. Santa brought him just what he wanted.  It was so much fun watching the delight and excitement as he opened his presents.  We had bil and sil over for a early dinner and the ham we had this year was a really good one. So we ate to much and just enjoy spending time together. A very nice day.


Dgs left to go home on the Saturday after Christmas. He didn't want to leave but I reminded him another Christmas was waiting for him as Santa had left  few of his presents for him there. He will be back here for spring break next year and will as usual spend the summer here.


I am looking forward to the new year. 2008 was not on of the best years in my life health wise so hoping 2009 will be a good one. The best part of this year was the birth of my youngest dgs. He is such a good baby now and down right adorable( Just ask his grandma) LOL.


We will go over and celebrate New Years Eve with sil and bil at the casino that is close to them. Should be fun and will be nice to get out of the house to just have some fun for a change. I don't do resolutions for the new year but I hope to do a better job of keeping myself healthy.


Wishing you all a healthy, happy New Year!!

Hi Suz


I have a few things that stay out all year long. A couple of glass sleighs that I really like and hate to pack away. I usually love to put out lots of decorations but this year with the mess from our flood I didn't do it but putting it all away on the 26th is something I have done for over 35 years.


If you like those things out and they make you happy I say go for it!!


HUGS

Happy New Year Mary...


We take all of our decorations down before New Years so we can start the year out fresh. This New Year is going to bring all sorts of new stuff to our lives. And the best stuff of all to me is going to be a new president! So here is to a new

Aloha,

Hi Lei


Well a new president will be interesting and we shall see what happens this coming new year. He has a lot of things to work on and I know that no matter how hard he tries it will probably take a long time to clean up the mess left behind.


Wishing you and yours a Happy New Year!!

I like to play penny slots, I feel just as happy when I win and I am not there to win big because I never do... so to lose just pennies is not nearly as hard to swallow as losing bigger amounts!


I am feeling a lot better thanks!


So 2009 watch out we are making it a good one!

Hi Lor


I only play penny slots as winning at the casino is something that just never happens to me. As the night went on though you couldn't get near a penny machine and all that was left was dollar slots and that is way to dangerous for someone who's luck is never good. LOL


Love ya
