I used to phone them, as my mother did me, but it's texting now. I'm sure the year can see itself in perfectly well, but the last time I didn't stay up late enough, I awoke to find that Trump had been elected. I won't do that again!Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02865639536906898385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-12708681528951234192018-01-02T08:38:51.814-08:002018-01-02T08:38:51.814-08:00Happy New Year to you and Tess...Happy New Year to you and Tess...Theresa Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226952474166295533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-46657972141445474732018-01-02T05:26:51.413-08:002018-01-02T05:26:51.413-08:00The New Year started out interesting here in Atlan...The New Year started out interesting here in Atlanta, Georgia - freezing weather here across the southern US, record-breaking lows being reached all over Most unusual, but fortunately not concerning as our highly intelligent President tweeted that this obviously proves there is no global warming.

Altho quite pleased that the only one we didnt last year was the t.v. in the dining room had all its aerials blown awry by gales. Why does anyone need more than one t.v.anyway? Because one day we have to sell this house says the DP......with fully working everything.justjillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253881958131548009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-63739986847317426762018-01-01T14:35:24.988-08:002018-01-01T14:35:24.988-08:00I stayed up.

The fireworks kept on far too late, but I have never been one to stay up to see in the new year. Figured it was already a new year somewhere. The lake out back is frozen and it is miserably cold, so I spent yesterday juicing all of my lemons from the greenhouse. Today, I'll be juicing the oranges. I guess I am lucky to start the new year with mundane activities. Hope the new year brings you much happiness.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-91040513287677281872018-01-01T09:00:38.351-08:002018-01-01T09:00:38.351-08:00I tried to stay awake, I'm so full of flu and ...I tried to stay awake, I'm so full of flu and medication that I couldn't.
