Fun-Filled NYE weekend

Fireworks Bokeh

Ba-bye 2010!

We had a fun, mellow, spontaneous NYE weekend.  Ginny was in town for the weekend, and life is always fun when she's involved.  We had a few people over for dinner on NYE and our new neighbors brought some homemade beer to go with our homemade moonshine.  Yep.  That's right.  Both were tasty.  We didn't make it out the front door on NYE, and even had a slumber party with Elly on Friday and Saturday nights!  We ate, ate, and ate some more all weekend long.  Tri-tip, corned beef, cabbage, collards, cheese, Zannie's Black-Eyed Pea dip, (which was scrumpdiddlyumptious good and will surely bring all of us luck in the New Year), Ginny's homemade ice cream pie, Mick's homemade hummus, and of course lots of champagne.  We also ventured out to H-Street and got in some shuffleboard. 

Life was good in 2010, great on Dec 31 2010, and I'm hoping there is even more fun in store in 2011.  Cheers to all!

Another resolution: don't leave your draft blog posts open on the screen and walk away from computer.....husband will commandeer and edit at his leisure.  The last post was my running list of things I want to focus on this year....and Rick decided to add the last 3.  I'm just glad to know that I get to buy a bag a month....that's approximately 10 more bags than I average in a year, so happy shopping to meeeeeee!  More resolutions coming soon.
