Paul headed up north to ring in the new year with friends.
Betsy headed back to New York with David to celebrate there.
The evenings spent with friends are fun memories.
The fridge is empty.
The Christmas decorations are poised to go back in storage.
The house is quiet.
It’s just Michael, Quincy and me.
It was a beautiful holiday season.
You will find me comfy in front of the fire doodling, playing Words with Friends or reading. We will ring in the new year without a lot of hoopla. An early dinner with good friends. I love what a new year represents. Fresh ideas, starts, adventure, routines. Wishing you a happy, healthy 2012 filled with wonder, friendship and creative awakenings.
Two Thousand Eleven Hugs, Margie

I’d rather ring in the New Year with my dear husband by my side. We go out onto our quiet patio and watch the fireworks from across the island………….then say a prayer to begin another year together. Me and my man and our God!
So happy for you to be doing what brings you peace!
