I went to my brother's yesterday to celebrate the New Year with him and his lady friend. We went to Sam's Place and had dinner and welcome in the New Year. There was singing and dancing. The owner of Sam's Place gave out silly hats, noise makers, and poured the champayne. We counted down, had a New Year's toast, sand Aude Lang Zyne, did the Mummer's Strut, and sang "God Bless America." I had a good time. I hadn't been out on New Year's Eve since 2000, I usually go to bed but I figured I call Don and see what was happening at Sam's. Sometimes my cousin, Scott sings there but he didn't this time. Sam's is about a mile from Don's house. I was ready to go home after "God Bless America" but Don and Evelyn were still dancing and enjoying the music with their friends there.
Needless to say, I was beat today. I felt hung over and I only had one glass of champayne. By the time we got home and I took Danny out it must have been 2am. I got my self together around 10 am and headed for home. I vegetated and napped all afternoon. There were all kinds of TV marathons. I chose Dr. Who. It made me feel sad though as Dr. Who is a show Ted and I enjoyed with Kathy and Ned. It seems you can't get away from memories. They are good memories but a sadness goes with them.
I cleaned up the yard from the branches that fell down with the storm. I talked to my next door neighbors. They are having trouble with critters, too. They had everything out of their shed and were cleaning it and trying to critter proof it. Mice got into their belongings and chewed them apart. Stink bugs are everywhere. We are afraid they will hatch out in the sping and it will be like and Alfred Hitchcock movie. The bugs are in our vents, under the mobile homes, under the shutters and siding. A friend of theirs was getting a new roof and they were under the shingles. We had tens of thousands of them swarm here in the fall. We will probably have millions of them hatching out in the spring. I shutter to think of it.
I brought home half of my dinner from Sam's and had it tonight. Danny, too, is tired out. He has been sleeping on my lap all day except for when I walk him. The poor little guy hasn't had a decent walk today. Everytime I take him out, some hunter starts shooting his gun.
