Happy New Year

The holidays this year have been great, but glad it is about over and we get back to normal, for whatever that is.  If you find out, please let me know.  Had a great Christmas, got a stuffed dog from my daughter Tina.  His name is Col Spicket II, little history there with him and my kids.  Needless to say was a nice gift and a rather emotional one there.  It is something I will cherish.  Next gift was from my daughter Becky, my son David, and grandkids Christian and Sean.  It is a photo slideshow with over 225 pictures of kids/grandkids etc.  I was really surprised to get it.  Both really nice gifts this year.  Had dinner with my daughter, her boyfriend Joe and two other friends.  A great meal of ham and all the trimmings.  Then watched the kids open their gifts which is always fun.  Off to the watering hole that nite. 

New Years eve with my daughter up at the Hangar One.  A great meal with good friends, beer and cigars, a great way to top off the evening.  Today, a quiet day, temp of 25 degrees, we had 68 on Thurs then the bottom fell out and cold it got.  Last nite coming home from bar was 15.  Space heaters have proved their worth and furnace to help out and keep the belly warm.  Nice and cozy in here today, a good day to catch up etc. 

Short entry today, hopefully more tomorrow.  Cat may howl again tonite.  My gals at the regular watering hole are missing me.
