It has been an amazing New Years Eve filled with unusual fun for us.

We did the NYE Lights at Brookfield Zoo. Amazing. Every path decorated in lights and the main path and pond sync in music with continuous music to lights. Awesome but 17 degree, brrrr. A dinner at Uno's. The hostess, a youngin bitter about working NYE and torturing the patrons but the food was beyond slurpable. As was the beverages. And onto the Mansion in Lake Geneva Wisconsin with a lobby of festivity and and a password protected Safe House Bar. So much fun. The new year for us will be here in moments. And Crash. Way too much driving but worth it all.

I love Pac-Man, Centipede, and Tempest. I also like the House of the Dead.

My favorite game from back in the day was Galaga.

Me either, me either, me either.

And nobody can make me!

We stay in, thanks for the advice. I hope everyone stays safe. Tree comes down today. Hubby let me keep it up until New Years!

YEA! Mine might just stay up until Monday. Why does Christmas vacation always seem to be too short and too long at the same time

I climbed down a stepladder yesterday, put something on the counter then ran into the ladder. I don't know how I forgot it was there.

Sympathy like, I do hope you didn't hurt yourself

I'm so looking forward to this movie already!

I originally didn't think I'd want to see it but I do. I really want to see it but I'm not sure if we'll be able to make time to see it in the theater.

Uh-Oh....someone's in trouble!! Broken glass is NOT a good thing to leave lying around! How are you feeling today?

Better thank you. It's not really bad it's where on my knee that's the issue. I can walk do do some side to side, light jogging but lunges are out for a few more days and stairs aren't exactly fun I've got the culprit down to he did it and not me. Those 2 always seem to be in trouble LOL

Thank you so much for taking time out of your vacation to share such wonderful pictures! BTW I love Tiki Birds. The year we went and it was closed due to the fire I shed a tear and that was for the Under New management version. If you get a chance and find a few in need of a good home I'm willing to adopt a few.

See....this is my problem. It's on my list of ADRs to make, but I can't decide between the platter and the chicken pot pie!!

You get one, your dh gets the other and you spit them. Problem solved.

That would have come in so handy before my boys started staying up to watch the NYC countdown. I'm so glad they're doing it.

On the duck? THat would be the clasp on his diaper. He's an indoor duck, but it's hard to house train a bird, so he had to wear diapers. So he has a kind of halter and my friend would take baby diapers and cut them into strips, attach them inside the halter and put it on the duck.

That's dedication.

They start learning it in 5th grade...some schools start earlier than that, but pretty much all of them start by 5th grade and it's required in high school. Most people, at least under the age of 50 speak English, but if you get a teenager working in a store, they might not have much experience speaking with a native speaker, and it makes them nervous. But there are some people, like my father-in-law who can't speak a word beyond "Yes" and "no" and maybe a few numbers.

That's how I was after four years of French, I could only speak a few words. I'm thinking some people aren't wired to do languages.

The pot pie is delicious, but I can't get past the chicken, it taste's like Mom's. We are doing Prime Time in about 30 days, I'm getting the platter, as I've never had it before. I don't usually do meatloaf, I'm hoping they will add another piece of chicken, or more vegetables.
