A year ago on New Year's Eve, our neighbors Jim and Kathy Hill came over to celebrate with us. Our only lights were worklights on long extension cords, and the only heat was a large furnace the builders had in the living room. At evening's end (way before midnight) they went home and Don and I returned to the 5th-wheel trailer 50 yards away.This year Don and I celebrated alone in a completed home that was warm and lit. We ate pheasant a la creme (he shot the pheasant last fall on a trip to Wolf Point) and drank a bottle of 1999 Dom Perignon given to us by a good friend in Yakima. The meal was one for the books!
Today we took down the tree and packed the Christmas decorations into the basement. It's been snowing for several days in a row, and it's gorgeous. Don's spending lots of time reading and seems to have developed a slight addiction to Craig's List.
What day is it anyway? Our pill containers say "Th" so I guess it is.
Well, whatever it is, Happy Today and Happy New Year!
