Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. Its the transition thats troublesome.

Brace yourselves! The new electric rates take effect on
Tuesday! Read this article and get out your
calculator. Then write your state representative a nasty letter telling
them what you think of this extortion!

It sounds like a good morning to be indoors. I can hear the rain
spattering on the roof of the sunroom and hear the wind flickering the flames in
the stove. I think I may enjoy our sunroom more during bad weather than
during good. It is so nice to be snug, warm and dry while the wind howls
outside.
Another year almost gone and they fly by so fast. I think of all the
things I had hoped to accomplish this year and I dont think I made even
half. Not that I had any great aspirations for the year. I am not
big on resolutions or that sort of thing, but I do try to think ahead and plan
for things to do. Its just that I am a better planner than a doer!
As in most recent years past ... we plan to do our New Year
celebrations at home such as they are. We might even stay up until
midnight this year ... and then again maybe not. It has been about 50 - 50
whether or not we make it to the New Year awake. Some years we just decide
to let the New Year find us while we sleep. It mostly depends on what we
can find on the TV.
08:38 a.m. Tammy Sounds like
youll be ringing in the new year just about the same as this house! Well be
serving red or white sparkling grape juices here. (Kroger had them and
theyre dressed like nutcrackers -- Andy collects them)
What ever
happened to the great tv shows that we used to watch on New Years Eve all night
long??? Just seems like you are lucky to find an hour show or something
dealing with the new year and is entertaining. I remember pjs, balloons,
hats, noisemakers, tv all night long on New Years Eve.
I think Dave had
better work on the million with the new electric rates coming!
Stay snug
as a bug in a rug today!
08:47 a.m. MjL
Same here with the grape juice. There was a time I would have been in
a panic without some real booze for the event but that has been some time
ago. I do wish there was more on TV worth watching ... and not just
tonight!
I was doing some calculating and I think we wont be running the air
conditioner as much this summer!
08:59 a.m. Tammy Start buying
those battery operated personal fans to carry around with you for this summer!!
:) Im sure those bills that will be coming will really stink!! So
much for trying to get ahead this year!
09:05 a.m. MjL
At the price of batteries I think I will have to hire someone to wave an
ostrich feather at me!
10:54 a.m. Tammy Gee....maybe
thats how to make your first million....sell ostrich feathers!
09:22 p.m. Tammy From our house
to yours:
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! May all of your wishes come true in
2007!
Dave, Tammy, Andy and Ashley
09:47 p.m. MjL
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and yours as well!
Michael, Tracey, Noah, Ben, Aaron, Jake, Chris & Rosie
10:03 p.m. Tammy I know who Rosie
is...but Chris??
10:17 p.m. MjL
Chris is Noahs parakeet! He is almost 10 years old (Chris that
is).
Good night all ... we wont make it to midnight this year either.
Have a great evening and we will see you next year! Sleep tight!
10:39 p.m. Tammy Nighty
night! Where is Dick Clark???? Another year without him?? I've
searched, but to no avail.
Wow...isnt that a long time for a
parakeet?
