Me, I had one glass of wine too many and fell asleep before I had the chance to say or think of something apt and inspiring to begin January with something apt and inspiring to apt and inspire me. I'm just not that deep.<br /><br />I love the watery photo of London. It makes me want to go make another cup of tea asap, and lordy, I do love a nice cup of tea. <br /><br />Happy New Year, and I look forward to reading your inspiring blog aptly in 2018.Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990041745880166605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-11037996680515250002018-01-01T16:32:59.228+00:002018-01-01T16:32:59.228+00:00Happy New Year Steve - let's it's a saner ...Happy New Year Steve - let's it's a saner one than 2017!Shooting Parrotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503757845024102476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-9567922254715706562018-01-01T16:05:08.786+00:002018-01-01T16:05:08.786+00:00I have a kitchen to clean up before fixing my (act...I have a kitchen to clean up before fixing my (actually Marion Cunningham's) yeast waffles.Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-8018642402474806282018-01-01T15:54:08.773+00:002018-01-01T15:54:08.773+00:00One neighbor set off six bright, loud, and annoyin...One neighbor set off six bright, loud, and annoying firecrackers at 11:07. It woke me up. I figured he was too tired and bored to wait until midnight. Then, for some crazy unknown reason, someone set off firecrackers again at 5:00 am. That woke me up for good. I'm glad to have things return to whatever is normal these days on our made-up calendars of time. Beautiful rainy photo and love that duck!

I did watch a few. if it weren't so cold and if weren't spending so much putting the house back together I'd have been out there shooting them off too. a neighbor on the next street always springs for a lot of the really good ones. there's been more than one year where he and us and another near neighbor lit up the sky.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-64047510625553923142018-01-01T14:31:40.811+00:002018-01-01T14:31:40.811+00:00Happy New Year, Steve.
