The sun is shining this morning as I overlook a pond with ducks in it. Nice.

Ping to the list! Thank you, Lysie, for getting us started today.

This is the “official” thread. Please disregard the other one. I’ve asked for it to be deleted.

Y'all sit down to a beautiful New Year's Day brunch:

Happy New Year, all! I will be in my shop most of the day, building my carriage house doors to replace the roll-ups that do nothing to keep the shop warm.

Last year we stemmed the tide of the left. This year, we hold the GOP's feet to the fire.

Next year we kick ass and take names!

Happy New Year and God's blessings to all! Sorry I've been away from posting.... I really appreciate the kind regards of those who posted to me....and wish to thank you (belatedly)...

My dad is in a nursing home now....(& sadly it's been on quarantine for over a week, even during Christmas due to a gastorintestinal bug).... We didn't even get his phone installed before this happened....so relied on prayer that God would keep his spirits up....(HE did)...and thankfully hasn't yet caught the 'bug'... Life is never dull..... Each one of us have situations that impact us every day.... Truly only God's help, through prayer, is what keeps me going. Wishing you all love and a wonderful New Year.

Good morning everybody and Happy New Year! Thanks for the thread and ping, lysie.

Good looking breakfast today. I have all the ingredients ready to make our pannini sandwiches later and the black eye pea salad made. Also made a waldorf salad and the other guests are bringing a green salad and dessert.

I don’t think we’ll go hungry. Rehearsal after lunch we have shows tomorrow and the next night. I don’t feel all that well prepared....

Happy 1/1/11
