Good start to the New Year
Monday, January 1, 2007 at 07:42PM by Kris
We go to bed early New Years Eve so we have a running start at the annual New Year's Day gathering of sailors and other kindred spirits at the home of Folsom Lake Yacht clubbers, Dave and Lanette. They graciously welcome many friends with good humor, incredibly delicious food, free-flowing champagne and excellent California wines.
We don't see most of these people except for this one yearly event; certainly not because we don't value the friendships; like these people we are busy with family and other obligations. Once a year it's fun to reminisce about sailing experiences of the past 16 years and catch up on current happenings. It's sad that we're getting to the point when we have to remind each other of fun times...getting old sucks! But as long as one of us remembers, the stories will survive.
We would have to be out of the country to miss this party - and that reminds us we have no idea where we'll be next year at this time.
That's exciting.

I am enjoying your blog. You have a gift of writing Kris. Maybe a novel is in your future??
I am sad that these next few months will fly by and you'll be gone from Casa, never to return. I want to start planning a BIG send-off party for you and the other 2 retirees.
Enjoy these last few days off. Hope that bathroom remodel is coming along.
