New Year's Day

Last night was a very quiet night. Some people got together at Creekside for games and ushering in the new year. After supper was done, I just came home. Was very tired and allergies still causing a little problem. But felt much better yesterday. Sharon didn't come down for supper but spent the afternoon and evening watching various sport channels.

Fell asleep watching tv. Guess we were kind of boring this year. Woke up around midnight and watched the fireworks. They were all around us. Very very pretty. Didn't grab a camera. Didn't want to go to that much work. ha ha.

It's a new year. Trying to decide if going to make any new year resolutions. If we don't make any, then none to break, right? Have our 2011 calendars up. Only need to put up 3. It's always hard choosing calendars since we only use 3 now.

Not too many people up and around for breakfast this morning. Guess biscuits and gravy wasn't tempting enough. But the rest of the day is mine. Have some beef simmering for beef n noodles, later.

This coming Wednesday, Yoli is celebrating her birthday. Can't remember if it's 67 or 68 but she's doing the cooking. She's going to make us some authentic chicken & beef fajitas. Not sure what she means by authentic but I know she makes her own tortillas. She asked to borrow our grill since she only has a small one. Should be a lot of fun. I think she's invited about 14 people.

Learned a couple new games recently. Jokers & pegs - this one uses a special board and a 5 decks of cards. Reminds me a little like Sorry or Aggravation. The other game is 5 crowns. This uses a special deck of cards. It reminds me of a game that Sharon's mom and dad taught us awhile back. You start with 3 cards and 3's are wild, the next round 4 cards and 4's are wild. You make sets and runs.

Monday afternoons is craft time. I'm hoping to start scanning pictures and slides again. Seems like I'm a little behind. Haven't taken any pictures recently. The other night, we missed taking some of a great sunset. There's been a lot of humidity lately.

Hope your having a great start to your new year.
