HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

Since I rarely dress up, I thought I'd start the New Year with a photograph Kevin took last night...of me dressed up!  We celebrated the New Year by going to one of our favorite restaurants that's housed in an old stone inn.  The atmosphere is cozy and the wait staff wear period clothing.  We were seated in a small room with a fireplace and only three other tables.  A troubadour serenaded guests as we dined.  After our dinner, as we were leaving the restaurant to return home, a couple of young guys were just starting to create an ice sculpture outside in front of the building.  We were curious as to what they would create, but the cold won out and we raced home to the warmth of the cabin where we later watched the ball drop in Time's Square from the warmth of our living room.  It's always amazing to see how many people crowd into the square and withstand the frigid temps to be part of the moment.

 

Instead of making resolutions, Kevin suggested we just try to make this year a little better than last year ~ and his idea suited me just fine :)

 

I hope all of us have a year better than the last, and one filled with promise, peace, love, and joy...

 

Happy 2013!!!
