BIG CROWD...Lots of music!

In Macy's on 34th is the New Years Ball -

The Waterford crystal ball changes color every few seconds

In Central Park .... The Sheep Meadow

Still in Central Park....ice skating has begun!

Band playing at "Imagine"....John Lennon's memorial...notice the drummer's bass drum is an empty suitcase... It sounded great! Imagine?

New Lawn Mowers!

These girls (one little guy) are doing a great job keeping our grass mowed until the snow covers it all. They've eaten all my pumpkins (only left the top "handle") - all my mums - all flowers they can reach....now they are eating the lawn. We had a 9 inch snowfall a couple of weeks ago - but it's gone....maybe next week more snow.
So is life in the mountains of Pennsylvania.....

Happy Birthday Mr. H




OK.....What a goofball am I.


I made Paul a German Chocolate Cake for his birthday with the number candles on it - fixed him his favorite dinner (pinto beans, cornbread, corn, slaw, potatoes...sweet tea.


Bought him a mini fridge for his office upstairs - and a nice ceramic heater...it's always cold in there...a "vote for curly" t-shirt and a light up cap!


But I messed up on one major thing!


HE IS NOT 58 TODAY.......HE'S 57! Seriously!!!!!


Talking to Will....Michael called this morning.

Not a bad choice! Actually, I rather vote for him than Obama!

Yep...it has headlights!
