* IT'S A SNOWY NEW YEAR'S EVE *

Well, I didn't get my wish for a White Christmas, but I was surprised to see snowflakes this morning! Not a whole lot has fallen yet, but it's coming down pretty fast. 


Here's a couple of pictures I just took from inside my house.

 Can you see the flakes falling?


I love this one!

Wishing everyone a safe and fun evening, no matter what your plans are! 


I'm also including my post from December 31st of last year:

One of my favorite movies is "When Harry Met Sally." There are so many great scenes and dialogue in it, but for tonight I must post a very appropriate one. It's at the New Year's Eve party. Harry just told Sally how much he loves her and wants to spend the rest of his life with her. After a little while, it's midnight and people begin to sing "Auld Lang Syne."  Following is their dialogue:




Harry:  My whole life I have never known what this song means.


Sally: I know exactly what you mean.


Harry: I mean, should old acquaintances be forgot. Does that mean we should forget old acquaintances, or does it mean if we do happen to forget them, we should remember them, which is not possible because we forgot them…..


Sally: Maybe you're just supposed to remember you forgot them, or something – anyway it's about old friends.

Happy 2013! May it be a blissful one for all of us!

  3. We have several inches of snow on the ground here. It didn't arrive until the day after Christmas though. Wishing you a happy new year, Becky!

  5. I just made a trip to town to feed my 44 oz. Diet Coke addiction, and it's a winter wonderland. The town roads are clear, at 32 degrees, but our country roads are covered again at 31. We had just dug out from 7 inches of your Christmas wish from Friday.

    Best of luck in the new year, and hope you get lots of pretty snowflakes that don't affect driving!

  7. Our yard looks just about the same, Becky. Our first snow and I wished for more. Then the rain came and melted most of the snow. The temps are fairly warm, no wind, and after the next few hours, weather becomes temperate again. Happy New Year to you...

  11. Oooh and aaaah. Snow! Jealous thoughts. It is vilely hot here and all around the countryside is being crispified. Some rain would be more than welcome. And I would love, love, love some cooler weather.
    Have a wonderful New Year. Ad infinitum...
