new year

Some friends were having a party and invited us to their house for New Year’s Eve last night, so we went there for a few hours. The crowd was a bunch of metal guys and their families. Things sure are different from the first time I met that crew–it was definitely a low key evening. We came home before midnight, though. We did watch the ball drop at midnight, but all three of us were in bed by 12:30. Still, it was nice to get out for a while.

Today, we did our usual thing. I got up this morning and put the pork, sauerkraut, and kielbasa in the oven, made some dumplings, and we washed down lunch with a bottle of champagne. Then, I took a nap and undecorated the house after it. In other words, it was a pretty standard New Year’s Day around these parts.

Happy New Year everyone!
