Morning all!
I thank you all for your prayers and support over the last few days. It's been tough. Your being there has helped.....Thanks!
For any others that are hurting or in need, I pray for you also.
So, the last day of the year, huh? Guess I'll probably work a half day and then go home. Shoot, I may leave before that. I've already been here and hour and mine is the only car in the parking lot.
I'll just be chillin' at home tonight.....what do you all have planned?

I'm working from home until 4:30 today, also expecting an appliance repair man sometime between 9 am and noon this morning. Tonight Ben's girlfriend is supposed to come over and watch movies until mid-night then I'll crack open a bottle of sparkling cider, that's about it for our New Year's celebration. What you doing tonight PC?

Mornin' everyone! "I'm dreaming of a white New Years....." Sorry about that. We got around 6" of light fluffy stuff that is now blowing here and there in the wind overnight. I also have more recording to do today before heading out to my son's house for the New Years Eve Party. We used to have some of his friends over to my house years ago before he married for the party. Mostly sat around playing euchre all night and imbibing too much. Now we go over to his house and play euchre might have a drink, and hope to stay awake long enough to see the new year in............ Now another of our own needs us today. Sawyer is going to his brothers
funeral today. Sawyer, my deepest sympathies and prayerful support go
with you on this day. I truely understand what you're going through,
and I think I speak for us all when I say that we're there for you.
Sawyer, my deepest sympathies and prayers to you and your family at this time! I have to get the snow blower running soon or the musicians will have no place to park! Hope you all have a great and safe New Years!

Well I will have some OJ for now thanks.
Power went off last night, twice. In a 5 minute span. Happened around 3:00 this morning. Next thingt you know, there goes the fire whistle. The vol. fire department is about 10 houses up from us, and that whistle is LOUD. I guess maybe a car wreck or something. The whole town was black. I just now got the internet back and going.
How am I going to celeberate today. Well..................right now working on the layout and getting ready to make some trees. Probably hit up the hobby store today, and see what I need from there. Next start drinking by 3:00pm, and will be out on the floor by 6:00pm. I will say by 12:00am I will be praying to the porcelain gods!!!
Now if you believe that, thats a different story.

Good New Year's Eve morning, All. I will have my usual coffee and cinnamon roll. Is anyone working today, or are we all starting the celebration today?
Dick, I haven't had a horse for 10 years. I just didn't have the heart to replace my old gelding. The steers are there to mow the grass and to eat.
Ryan, Are you our resident consultant for our party? What do we need to serve for our New Year's eve party?
Errands today, but we will get some layout time tomorrow.

Ray, Barry, I'm sorry about misinforming you about our friend Sawyer. I accidentally posted the wrong person on the wrong forum........not enough coffee yet today, clearly! Sawyer and his family are fine to my knowledge.

Think I'm heading home early and cooking a ham for tomorrow. Beyond that, probably not much.

I'm back in my Navy clothes today for the first time in a week and half, so I'll take a big cup of black coffee please. I'm on duty today, so I'll sitting on the MR website and surfing other train related sites. Yesterday was a great day, I spent most of the watching Thomas DVD's with my son, and playing with him on the floor with all the wooden Thomas trains his Grandpa and Mimi got him for Christmas. I think I'm going to take the plunge today and purchase my first piece of brass. I'm going to buy a T&P Muley Caboose imported by OMI. Well I'll check back later all. Have a happy New Year.

Thank goodness for that! I was wondering what might have happened??? BTW, I was wrong about the snow. We got so far about 10" of the white stuff here in Geneva. Still coming down.................. sideways! It gets really bitter when you are running the snowblower and it decides to blow right back in your face. My New Years Eve plans are subject to change as necessary.
