Happy New Year, Cruise Crazies&#33;<br />
<br />
We had some friends over for a quiet evening last night.  We had a fire in the fireplace , some soft music, hors d&#39; oeuvres, and a nice visit.  We turned on the tv in time to watch the ball drop.  I was surprised to see Dick Clark back again.  He seems like he&#39;s doing well.  He is such a strong person.  I pray he continues to improve.<br />
<br />
I am saddened to hear about Darret Williams.  God rest his soul and be with his family.<br />
<br />
We have some snow on the ground that is staying now.  It seems more like winter now.  It&#39;s very pretty&#33;  I love it when all the trees are white, too, but I know too much snow isn&#39;t good for them.  Too heavy.  We&#39;re just having a quiet day alone today and I&#39;m making corned beef and cabbage.  Something nice and easy and simple, but sooo good&#33;<br />
<br />
Have a great day, everyone&#33;&#33;&#33;
