Pat and I had a quiet evening at home. He was actually napping when it got close to midnight and I woke him up so I could get a New Year's kiss.

We watched the college football semi-final championship games and they were both pretty much routs. UGH. It didn't make sense that they paired the number 1 team against the number 4 team. But then it

I pray your nephew-in-law will recover! :(

I'd actually planned to make myself black-eyed peas and greens too. I remembered everything on the grocery list but a tin of black-eyed peas.

Thanks for your good thoughts for Tim.

They sell black-eyed peas in Germany? That surprises me because it's hard to find them in stores outside of the South here in the USA. It's considered a very Southern tradition.

Of course! Please keep us updated on Tim.

Yes they do, but only in tins. They're not called peas here though, but "tiger beans":

That's cool! I love learning new things.

I'm sorry to learn of your nephew-in-law's stroke. That's very frightening indeed. Best wishes to him for a full recovery.

And there is nothing wrong with starting out the year on a lazy note! Holidays are meant for relaxing.

Thank you for the good wishes for Tim.

Today has certainly been relaxing! I don't think I've expended much energy at all.

Happy New Year S!! I was lazy too. I'm too old to party these days ;)

[wpadmirer]

LOL!

You work so hard that you deserve a lazy day for a change. Pat reminded me of how, some years, Seth would have trouble staying up for NYE because of his weird body clock. But he made it this year!

[wpadmirer]

Cool. There's nothing like a New Year's kiss!
