Hippy New Year to ALL!

2009.....who would have thought we would still be around after 2001... Space Odyssey, anyone... Hal?....Bueller?

We did our normal Heron Clan New Year's Eve at home. Steak, King Crab legs, baked potatoes, green beans and asparagus wrapped in Prosciutto, Merlot and Champagne. Earlier today, we did shrimp cocktail and smoked salmon spread as appetizers.

Watched "Gattica" & "Dr. Zhivago" on the tube. Got the champagne poured in time to wish each other and Dick Clark a very happy one.

Normally we are not so "up" when the ball drops. Usually, we have to wake each other up to smooch and say "Happy New Year!" before we fall back to sleep....yes, we are a wild and crazy clan!

It is almost 2am... I launched Tom and Swan back to their side of the condos and couldn't go to sleep without wishing you and yours a most Wonderful 2009!

Pranzer is asleep under the Christmas Tree... and I am sure that Callie is asleep at Swan's feet.

Tomorrow is dinner and football, here, with Tom's Dad. Tom's youngest goes to University of Cincinnati and they are Orange Bowl bound. Cross your crossables....we wants them to win... and to win BIG!!!!

Happy Happy, everyone! Smooch your peeps. Squoze them while you are at it!
