Happy New Year 2018

[StarLite]

Happy New Year fellow gamers. We had a pretty good Christmas this year. Hubby decorated the outside and it looked great. I got a much needed food processor and I bought hubby the ultimate gift for the beer drinker, a year's gift card at the beer store so he's in his glory. This is the first time we celebrated Christmas in a long while, after we lost mum, MoMo and my bil I just gave up.

I'm still plugging along on my game, learning new things all the time. Not pulling my hair out like I usually do and being more patient.

Well I hope everyone had a good time celebrating last night and here's to a wonderful New Year for us all

And a Happy New to you and your hubby, Starlite!

It was -6°here this morning, so a LOVELY start to the New Year! Of course, where I'm from in the far NW corner of Iowa, it was -28° up there last night.

We are heading into town shortly for a steak and bloody Mary breakfast at our American Legion. Last nightt he guys were claiming they were grilling outside because they were "Extreme Grillers!" However, there was a lot of alcohol involved at that point!

Happy 2018 everybody!! Here's to a good one.

Happy New Year one and all! 2017 was not a good year but 2018 has started well...with my football team finally making the playoffs after a 17 year drought! We all partied like 1999!

Well, here are the Extreme Grillers in -2°F! The breakfast was simply awesome... perfectly grilled steak, eggs to order, hash browns and biscuits and sausage gravy. Wow! What a way to start the New Year!

I'm currently simmering up a huge roaster or ham and beans and a smaller crock pot of Melia's Texas Style Black Eyed Peas to take back in later this afternoon.

Bet the food tasted great!!

The steaks were cooked to order and to perfection in spite of the weather! Of course, they were all pretty much hung over from the night before and started out on Patron at 8:00 in the morning because their beer kept freezing up! My daughter-in-law said they served 70 breakfasts.

[Val]

Wow! Hats off to them. And hope your contribution goes down well as I am sure it will. Sounds so yum!

Happy New Year, everyone! Sorry I'm late, but I've been getting ready for my (mostly) annual Theatre in London trip. Hopefully, the coastal snowstorm expected overnight Wednesday doesn't arrive before my plane leaves tomorrow evening. Stay warm, and I'll see you all again mid-month.

Have a wonderful time, LadyK! I was wondering if you would be making your trip this year. Safe travels!

A bit late but HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! Drac, your breakfast sounds scrumptious and I note the two bottles of beer on the back of the truck. Purely for marinating the steaks of course. Starlite, the card is beautiful. Lady K, looks like my grandson in Halifax will be getting the brunt of this storm, hope it won't delay your travel plans. What are you seeing this year?

Here's something New Year-y from some friends of mine:
