Happy New Year’s Eve to all of our blog family. We just returned from our long 12 hour drive from Chicago. We will be at home tonight and I will be toasting to everyone on our extended blog family.
Tonight Leslie and I will share our traditional bottle of Schramsberg Sparkling wine. This is my wedding anniversary. Sixteen years ago, Leslie and I eloped on New Year’s Eve after eight years years of dating. (There is an ongoing dispute over calculating the event, I insist that this is our 24th anniversary but Leslie insists on not counting the eight years of dating). We always celebrate with a bottle of J. Schrams. This was the bottle I bought after we got hitched at Alexandria City Hall. I used my house school ring.
While we are not holding our annual party for 200 on New Years (because we were in Chicago for the Bears game), we will make our traditional soup: The Bowl of the Wife of Kit Carson Soup.
Everyone drive carefully and have fun. I will be giving a toast to our entire blog family tonight (and, of course, my marriage).
Robin45, You are in my prayers and I plan on wishing you buon anno next year.
As we begin the dawn of a New Year with hope springing anew, I wish you all peace, joy and health.

Professor,
I bet you are missing the snowstorms and below zero temps by now! 🙂
It’s not a happy new years eve for all the black males in Connecticut that are locked up in jail for crimes that WE haven’t committed…
Happy New Year to all!
Judge Sonia Sotomayor is pushing the button in Times Square to start the ball drop. I’m no stick in the mud, and I like Supremes coming out of their bubble, but this seems a bit beneath a Supreme. Hopefully she has the good sense to not be interviewed by Kathy Griffin. And, I love Kathy and her bawdiness.
Happy new year !
Happy (and Safe!) New Year’s, Blog Peoples!
Remember, friends don’t let friends drive drunk. Or blog drunk. Or call up old boy/girlfriends drunk. Or get married by Elvis impersonators drunk.
You get the idea.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE wishing you all love ,joy,peace and happiness
