"Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to. " Bill Vaughn (I was soooo ready to go to bed by 10pm last night!)
2007 arrived without much fan fare in the House of Oompa. Icy roads kept the celebration confined to the house but at the stroke of midnight we gathered outside to watch the fireworks from Pikes Peak set off by the Pikes Peak Adaman Club. We usually announce our resolutions over sparkling cider. This year Dickidoo kept his secret. I have come up with a few suggestions for him, but so far he has been scowling all year long so I think it best to keep those suggestions to myself.
Sad news from Bronco Country. No, I'm not talking about the team losing their chance for the play offs. There will be other games and other years for them. No, sadder still is the news of the death of Broncos Cornerback Darrent Williams, who was shot and killed in Denver just hours into the New Year. Such senseless violence, such a violent end to yet another precious life. And for what?
My girls can't spell. Nor can they collaborate, cooperate and even pose together in a picture without snarling at each other. I wanted them to make a sign in the sand and pose for me. They insisted on making their own and would not pose together. Grrrrrrr.... I may yet put them on Ebay with the notation: Does not play well with others! Who would know just by looking at their adorable faces.
Welcome 2007 (we fixed this one), and Happy New Yeay everyone! (I have a picture of this after Becca correctedthe spelling, but I like this shot better). Blog well and prosper!

Happy New Year to all of you! Girls. Get along. (yeah, right!)
when i heard of the death of the bronco's player, i thought about you dorn. i don't follow football, but i am sure he was an integral part of the team and will be missed by many.
my heart does go out to his loved ones and family.
as for the pics in the sand.............i love them...............but sand, snow, and hats and mittens and heavy coats seem like such an oxymoron.......sigh
blessings,
