Sigh. Your New Year's Eve celebration sounds much like ours. After years of working on New Year's Eve (when I was a student and bartending and cocktailing for school funds and spending the night waiting on folks), and then a few years of trying to find a decent place to eat out on New Year's Eve, we settled on the tradition where my husband makes our once a year very special meal....Crab legs, lobster and prime rib. I watch the Twilight Zone marathon and Hubby's usually in bed by 8 and all is well.... ;o) My only resolution is to make no resolutions....but I did choose a "word" for the year, and that word is "balance." Oh, so needing to achieve it. When Doug is done with your list, wanna send him my way? We have a bath to redo and I need new counters and sink and wall coverings in the kitchen..... ;o) Wishing you a wonderful new year filled with joy, promise, health, healing, and blessings.....Among my blessings of 2011, I count finding you....Smiles & Hugs ~ RobinTheCrankyCrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16314851714923955216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6664312103727243394.post-9707105208479944732012-01-01T18:39:49.188-06:002012-01-01T18:39:49.188-06:00Karen~ What a wonderful post.

Seems that all my plans for the new year have Mr. P working to get them accomplished also. A new baby in the family in the coming year is such a blessing. Something to look forward to. Congrats. again. Hoping we get to travel more the coming year also. I was staying close to home as Mother was so sick. The new year will begin with me giving thanks to God that she is no longer suffering, but with an emptiness that only time can heal. But I am thankful for a blessed year. Wishing you and your family and great healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year. <br />AngelaAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17994753291659176298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6664312103727243394.post-5158881867410341352011-12-31T21:32:00.215-06:002011-12-31T21:32:00.215-06:00Happy New Year Karen!!

Sorry you haven't been able to travel but yes, you're still able to get around so that is a very good thing!<br /><br />I'm not a resolutions maker either. I can't keep them and I hated the failure feeling I used to feel for not being able to keep them. Now I set goals and just do my best to keep them. Much less stressful and I don't beat myself up over it.<br /><br />Lol, I had to laugh... yes, I would spring it on Doug slowly. I have a list along those lines in my mind too. One thing at a time.<br /><br />Wishing you, Doug, and the family a wonderful new year!Angie Berry ~ Berry Homespun Primitiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17664447067172311957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6664312103727243394.post-7241437029278731692011-12-31T21:10:51.852-06:002011-12-31T21:10:51.852-06:00Karen,
