Happy New Year!

It’s a brand new year with all sorts of possibility. We had a quiet new year celebration watching tv and drinking sparkling grape juice. Even the neighborhood was pretty quiet compared to usual. Most of the noise happened hours earlier so I suggested all the noisy things were used up too early. I’m working on a few posts covering the past nine days and hopefully will have those finished soon before I forget things. We’ll have a low-key new year’s day aside from a trip to the airport this afternoon to meet my father-in-law who is returning from Sri Lanka after several months.
