Happy New Year everybody!!!
Here we go again,,,2011 is gone. Time to start another brand new year…….
By 6:30 pm New Years Eve, we were up at the Activities Center ready to bring in 2012.
Charlie and Will were at the controls of the sound equipment and did a fine job of spinning the “good ole' oldies”…….plus some newbies.
Soon the line dancers were warming up………Ms. Pat right in the middle of them. She just loves this Line Dancing. The thing I like about it is, the Gals can do it alone!! I do enjoy watching. Now out in my shop with no one around and one of my favorite tunes comes on, I can cut a pretty fancy rug. But out there on the dance floor, I would fall all over my self and never be in step with everyone else….
It wasn’t long until everybody was out on the dance floor a "swoonin' and a swayin'"!
For all you disbelievers.....yep, I went!! Really I did! Here is proof I was there and right at the stroke of midnight (in NYC) I was blowing my horn and a whoopin' and hollerin'!!……Yes, I even made it out on the dance floor for 5-6 dances!! I know you are in total shock but 2011 was a GOOD YEAR!! We had a few ups and downs but all in all, we can't complain.
We enjoyed our Summer and finishing our "Cabin" in South Dakota. We took a short trip over to Gillette, WY to attend the Escapade. When we left Custer and headed south, we stopped off Lincoln, NE. to visit with DIL Ann, then on to Florida, staying at JRogers place eating a LOT of seafood and seeing all the Kids, Grandkids and Great Grandkids in Tallahassee. Even had a wonderful reunion of coworkers at our stick house neighbors and friends, Chuck and Rhoda. Then, we visited with Pat's son Gus in Slidell, LA and then down the road a few miles, we spent some enjoyable time with our “Kids” Rollie and Gina , at their home in Denham Springs, LA. As we continued our journey home to North Ranch, we stopped and visited with the Grandsons in Tucson. Then, we anxiously continued on to our place near Congress, AZ.
Yes...it wasn't just a GOOD YEAR, it was a GREAT YEAR!!
Needless to say, I didn’t have a bit of trouble getting to sleep when we got home last night…….Plus this morning, although I didn’t get up until 5:00am, I feel great!! Proud to be Alive and Proud to be an American.
It was a GREAT WEEK!!!! We are off and running for another 52 weeks!!
Hope you all have a Happy “SAFE” New Year……….. God Bless.
