Happy New Year's!! This is going to be a short post because for the first time in 7 years Dave is cooking for a neighborhood party with all our friends in the 'hood. We were fortunate to live in the most amazing neighborhood for 7 years. What made it amazing wasn't the houses, it was the people, the community. The kids playing in the park, in driveways, in front yards and back, and even in the street (much to the HOA's annoyance) while their parents talked, laughed, and got all caught up what was going on.
I am incredibly thankful that we have been able to spend the holiday season with these friends, who have over time become the sisters-of-my-heart. At the same time I am a bit sad to realize that it will probably not happen again for a long long while. Drat I've gotten all teary-eyed writing that.
Tonight I am going to focus on the fun, not the sad. I am going to eat my husbands brisket cooked on our old pit that now lives at his brother's house. I am going to gorge on all the yummies cooked up by friends. I am going to toast with champagne, beer, soda, or sweet tea which ever is in my hand when the time comes. And most of all I am going to savor every single minute of it.
I hope where ever you are when you ring in the New Year I hope you find something special about the moment to treasure and someone to share that moment with.
Happy New Year!
