Happy New Year 2009!

Bonnie and I have had quite a few "New Year's Eve" celebrations in recent years where we were home alone — which usually means we just go to bed at the regular time. However, we were pleased to host a real party tonight, with the visiting Cannons and a few DeLongs (just missing our own children, since Sarah worked until midnight and Matt worked but made it home about 11). We enjoyed eating all evening (including some Chilean alfajores), playing games and puzzles, and watching TV.

"The Incident"
As "the clock struck twelve" and the new year arrived, there was a small spontaneous and totally unplanned incident that involved several cans of "spray string" and a certain very deserving victim.


After the cleanup, there was a "consolation snuggle" that made it all worthwhile — right, Judy??

You know, I think Dave and Matt deserve some serious retribution. Anyone have any ideas????? At the least, they should have to pay for the years of therapy I am going to need.

I have to add that my own sons, my two boys for whom I walked through the Valley of the Shadow of Death in giving birth and for whom I have sacrificed countless times ever since, stood by and LAUGHED, along with my dear husband of over 29 years. Sometimes life is just not fair.

Some sort of response would seem appropriate.
