New Years Eve 2015

We really went grocery shopping today...meats, cheeses, veggies...from Sam's and Costco. When we got home I cleaned out the freezers from outside, divided meat, and generally put things away. We are starting our new year with a resolution to finally get our physical selves at the best they can be - weight, fitness, health, etc. The things we did today will go a long way towards helping us achieve those goals.

We relaxed afterwards. Rich isn't feeling very well. My guess is that the initial steroid boost is wearing off and he's feeling the illness.

We asked Bob to meet us at Shoney's for their late nite breakfast bar to celebrate the new year, even though we would be home before midnight. It was good to catch up with Bob. We haven't seen him since we left and it was nice to hear that he'd had a good Christmas.

Rich and I had seen that Shoney's was doing their breakfast bar tonight and spent a little bit of time remembering a New Year's Eve long ago when we lived in Sumter, S.C. Cherstin was perhaps 4-5 years old and so excited to go out to Shoney's for New Years. She saw the bacon and that was all she wanted. I bet she had two pounds all by herself! She went back to the bar over and over and over - all with such glee.

All in all it has been a good year - full of happiness, excitement, and joy. We have three new baby granddaughters, a new Eagle Scout, two new baptized members of the church, Joey and Carlie have moved safely to Alabama, two new soon to be here granddaughters, a couple of car accidents that only injured the cars - not the beloved daughters in them, we have travelled thousands of miles safely, and there have been health challenges that have been borne well and while not yet over in all cases - there are reasons to hope and be grateful. Happy New Year!
