Happy New Year!
Still here, mostly reading everyone else's posts and leaving comments...
I had a glorious New Year's because my oldest daughter's family came to Chicago to visit me the week between Christmas and New Year's. This came about after a conversation in which we discussed that ever since I've had grandkids (6 years) I have always gone to see one of their families, so there's never been a 'Grandma Christmas.' So I got one this year, and put up my 40-year-old tree with its 5 boxes of ornaments, and reminisced about the stories behind them with my daughter, and drove everyone around the nearby neighborhood all blinged out with decorations, and hosted a New Year's Day party for lots of old friends, and had a perfect week!
