Happy New Year!
Today is the first blank page of a 365 page book, let’s write a good one!
We started the day off pretty darned cold.. -10…that’s right, that is a negative in front of that 10! But the sun came out & it was nice & cozy as long as you stayed in the house!
Actually the sun shining on the snow made it looks like thousands of diamonds sparkling..it looked so pretty. This won’t look as pretty as what I saw with my eyes, but will kind of give you a hint…
Hubby & I didn’t make it up until midnight last night. lol..yeah, we are getting old. We ended up opening up our champagne & toasting in the new year at brunch today instead. I have to say, we may turn that into our new tradition!
Quite a little feast we had! Smoked salmon, cheese, crackers (that red & green on the left is pepper jelly on cream cheese)
We also set our card table up in the living room & ate in there so we could watch the game! lol..
While sitting there, it was also fun watching the birds out the front windows.
I have to share 1 more picture just because it is funny. Hubby couldn’t get the tree out of the stand & it was too big to pick it up & get it out of the house without dumping all of the nasty water in the stand all over, so he had to cut the top off to get it out…
yep, look at all of the needles on the floor! All is nice & clean now!
I am going to try to post more often this year…”try” is the key word here!
Off to watch the Badger game now.

I agree – let’s make 2013 a good book. Champagne brunch sounds very nice to me

. Have a very Happy New Year filled with love & peace.

I think it is kewl you guys put up the card table so you could munch and watch the game.
So how are you liking your new camera?
I love the shots of the Birds.
Happy New Year…lets make this one a good one<3
Thank you for your comment!
Your photos are beautiful! Wish you a happy and healthy new year!
@Luvthewaves - I know, that tree was too funny..but it was even more funnier watching hubby trying to get it out of the stand & then get frustrated & cut it in 1/2! lol… I haven’t really played much with my camera yet. One thing that I do NOT like about it though & will have to get use to is the pop up flash & it is right where I hold the camera at! grrr…that is frustrating! How about you..have you played with yours much yet?
Well that tree story was a hoot! Hubby & I actually did do the midnight drop of the ball but no drinking as we both are on too many meds & diabetic…would have been nice to gulp a bit of champagne though! That snow is beautiful but that temperture is horrid gahhh that is cold! Heres wishing you all a wonderful New Year Doreen!
