Happy New Year's Eve Everyone

12 years ago

We had a wide spread power outage in our area last evening, from 6:30 till just after 2:00 this morning. Of course our generator was not here, our our son had borrowed it. We did get the fireplace insert fired up and our son in law came and carried in some wood from our attached garage. I also plugged in the corded phone, then I went to bed. I finally fell asleep till two of our daughter's called. I did wake up when the electricity came back on. So Happy New Year's Eve everyone!

Happy New Year to you Ness and all my fellow gardeners. I love this time of year after all the partying, just quiet time to go through garden catalogues and dream of bountiful harvests. Good luck to you all!!

I nod in agreement, we should look forward in the New Year for Happiness and not look back in constant sorrow. It was tough this year, having lost my Brother this year, too and my Dad being gone as well. Dad kept the family together during rough times. It is a stark reality that our Loved ones are gone although our hope is in seeing them again when our time comes. I kept getting flashes of memories of Christmas' past as I went along with the holiday preparations and family gathering. At times, tears would spring to my eyes. I could actually feel the memories (voices, essence, glasses tinkling at the Holiday table) swirling around me...... It hurt, but felt that they really never do leave you. I Love them. I always will. I still can hear their voices & see them in my mind cyrstal clear, just like they are still alive. Maybe we need a little reminder that we own our own Happiness. No point in wasting our lives being miserable. There are other people in our lives. They need us to give them good and Happy memories to think about when it is our time to leave here. They are counting on us! Take care everyone and forge ahead.

Haha I read the the posts and the replies to my DH and I'm laughing, he's smiling. I say "men do things like that, they don't make sense" and he says "I dunno, we say the same thing about women." haha

Wishing each and every one of you a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year! Marilyn, I'm glad your power outage did not last longer! It's cold and rainy here today and I plan to stay inside.

Sorry for your cold night, Marilyn Sue. We're heading into a rapidly cooling few days and nights -- as low as 9F tomorrow night.

I don't care! Our house- and dog-sitter has our keys, and I'm packing for Friday's flight to Maui. DS and family are coming here New Year's Day to say farewell. We'll miss DGD's 2nd birthday but will be home in time for DGS's 8th.

Goodbye, 2012! Goodbye hassle with insurance after being broadsided in October. Goodbye two colonoscopies. Goodbye four doctors who couldn't decide if I *needed* an appendectomy and cecum resection. Goodbye two mammograms and "guided imaging" needle biopsy, proving *nothing there*. Goodbye countless hours vetting Medicare supplement and part D coverage. Goodbye DH's fractured molar and my root canals + new bridge. Goodbye Westie's (benign) tumor surgery and switch to prescription canned food. Goodbye (I hope) to *drought*. Goodbye to Electioneering!

Thanks for mostly good health for DH and me and extended family; for a truly dear DS and DIL; for grandchildren's laughter; for our happy home; for our winter break; for only *car* damage in the accident; for peaceful days and nights with a precious DH. Thanks for lengthening days.

Wishes for a happy, healthy, prosperous and peaceful 2013 to all!

(May I add wishes for legislation towards the end of Guns Gone Wild?)

Chisue -- as long as you're in Maui, maybe you should check out some real estate and ditch the cold for good! (Esp happy to read "Proving nothing there"!)

Hope everyone's 2013 -- it's SO strange to type that! -- brings you lots of smiles!

Pammyfay -- Thanks for your good wishes. I *knew* there was nothing, but got bullied by MD's (yet again). I'm just tired of being the well-insured, generally healthy 'patient' for these procedures. It's been going on since I was 25; I'm 71.

We've owned our little condo on Maui for 12 years. A month or two is *plenty*. I doubt we'd ever want to live full time in Hawaii. Because we rent it when we aren't there, there is always maintenance and refurbishing to do -- not 100% 'vacationing'.

Thank you, Sue. And happy New Year to you and your family! Hope the electricity stays on now. And to all the sweet people here at the KT, I wish you the happiest year of your life!!

Chisue, you've had quite a year and deserve some quiet time. Can't think of a better place than Hawaii, even though I've never been there :-) Enjoy it!

It is lightly snowing here too, but we are not expected to get much of anything. Dd is suppose to go to a party with her boyfriend, but that may need to change, depending on the weather. We have had a rough ending to the year with everyone being sick, so I look forward to a new year with wellness.
