We wish all our friends and family a happy and healthy 2015!
The weather outside was definitely frightful today, cold, rainy, windy and just generally dismal. We celebrated the New Year this evening with some of our friends in our Texas room. It was a bit cozy, but we had a great time, with plenty of snacks and wine. We had a FaceTime call with our friend Jean in Indianapolis. She has had good news: her latest x-rays show that her bones are healing, and she is now planning to come south in mid-February for three weeks.
We had two tables playing games. Steve and Jan brought their Play Nine! game (which we have played as Golf using regular playing cards). Pat Boyink was the winner at their table of six. Our table of five played Farkel. Bob Boyink had a very slow start, with six rounds before he got on the score sheet, but he pulled out a surprise victory, rolling two sets of three pairs in a row!
As midnight approached, we all went over to the Majestic to watch the ball drop in Times Square and toast the new year. At least that was the plan, but it turned out that none of the channels we get was showing the ball drop at midnight CST. We could have recorded the event at midnight EST if we had realized. We didn't let that dampen our spirits, though. Ken played Auld Lang Syne by Guy Lombardo's orchestra and we blew our party horns and blowouts, toasted the new year, and hugged.
