Welcome 2011. I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's Eve. I spend the day cleaning and putting all my christmas stuff away. Dh and I have to take down the outside lights tomorrow. We will put everything back in the attic tomorrow during the day when it is warmer. Time to get January going on a nice clean and fresh start.

Yay a new Friendship Flower! I wonder if we should go to seasonal one instead of monthly? but that would be hard for our Australian friends!

I have been busy in the basement tearing off some old upholstery fabric and using it as a pattern for the new fabric I got at WM for $5 a yard. Hope to be done this weekend.

Nice to have new one for the New Year. I had a very nice EVE. And a pretty quiet N Y Day. Judy took down the decos and I wrapped most and put in tote thing and she put them in shed or garage wherever they went.
No big dinner today for us. But am having Black Eye Peas with onion. Just like I grew up on, lol except when I was young I took the onion out.

We took all of the Christmas decorations down after Christmas. I'm glad that we did that way we were able to just hang out. The last two days we've have family game night playing the Kinect that the kids got.

I'm looking forward to getting back into the routine of the kids going back to school.

We are going to try to rent a movie or something for tonight. I don't see much on TV for the later hours.

If you like hockey, don't miss the Pitts Penguins playing outdoors at Heinz Field tonight at 8:00 EST.

I agree on nothing on TV so may watch one of the several DVD's I have here that I have not watched before. Or go in Judy's room and watch one of hers she got for Christmas

Happy New Year Everyone.
Put a roasting chicken in the oven and went outside for a couple of hours. Was a beautiful day to trim the bougenvillea bush that was huge in the back of the house. The worse part is it is full of thorns. Only got one scratch and that was at the end bagging them. Got four large bags. Once I go started did not stop until it was all done.
My lawn man notified Me that He was giving up the business so decided to trim it while I still was in shape to tackle it. Felt good to use muscles bending that I haven't used for awhile.
Told DH the kitchen cleanup was all His after I fixed dinner.Took a nap for a couple of hours.

Glad we started the new thread again monthly. Nice to see how everyone is doing.
