Dinner finished

[altivo]

Roasted turkey, stuffing, barley, mashed potatoes, cran-cylinder, pickled beets, black olives, gravy, wine. Got it all on the table, we ate it, and only now I remember that I had asparagus ready to microwave but never did it. Oh, well, we can have that tomorrow.

My feet hurt. I do have a bottle of sparkling wine chilling in case we stay awake long enough to drink it. But new year has never made a lot of sense to me. It's an arbitrary date loosely tied to the Christian church calendar, and people make such a pointless fuss of it.

I did rescue a (little) plush horsey today. We went into the feed store, and they have a lot of Breyer horse stuff. I remembered that they had some soft plush horses with knit scarves that were on sale before Christmas because they were really last year's holiday gift item. I got lucky, they still had exactly one left. So he came home with me.

Moved a bunch of furniture and clutter around so Gary could set up a table for the trains. We'll see what becomes of that.

Weather suggests we might see some snow, but I'm not holding my breath. It is really warm this year and I have a feeling it's going to stay that way.

Happy new year, everyone, for whatever it means to you.

Dinner sounds yummy! Happy New year to you too! :)

It was good, as was the relative quiet of being in the country. Only heard two "booms" at midnight. Either they were fireworks set off inside a 50 gal. drum or someone firing a shotgun, one barrel and then the other. That was it, and I approve.

Happy new year, stallion. Good to hear the night was as quiet at your place as it was here.
