New Years Celebration

New Year's Eve - as already mentioned, we stayed in.
Fireworks from our livingroom window.


We would really love to be able to see over the building across the street, but it was about $10,000 more per floor to buy up. Not worth it.


John is opening the champagne for mimosas. It scared the heck out of Darwin, as did the loud fireworks show - you could hear them from our place as well as see them.



New Year's Day - we ate blackeyed peas for good luck, and went to Starbucks, and wandered around Greenlake, and read a lot.



I liked the across the street neighbor's response to getting tagged (in red).






It was a lazy day.



But then we made tamales!
