Maybe...

Maybe one day I will find time to update my blog. I am still alive all, I just don't have enough hours in the day. Love you all.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! I love celebrating the new year. Great friends, more food than anyone can eat and a killer tradition. It all started twenty something years ago when my mom saw a report on the news telling how fast a tree could burn. She was curious and the tradition began with her setting a tree on fire next to the dumpster to see how fast it would really burn. Since then it has evolved to a much larger production. The tradition now involves basically blowing up the tree. We wire fireworks on to it and the torch it. This year was one of the best ever. Nick and Scott found the perfect dry tree, still had lots of needles on it. Scott set the blow torch and whoosh, it went up in flames. We always end the night with a New Year's kiss and a toast, complete with Martenelli's sparkling cider. It is so much fun to celebrate with my family and friends. I love them all and wish them as well as everyone else a happy, happy new year!
