12/31/11 the EVE of the New Year

January 2, 2012

12/31/11
One last time for me to write 2011 —
wonder how many times I will forget to write 2012,
and write 2011 instead??
It happens to everyone, right?
We spent the first part of New Year’s Eve
at my cousin Rose Mary’s. Her apartment
has a waterfront view – perfect for the
firework display.  Philadelphia has Fireworks
at 6PM & midnight – we watched the senior citizen version.

I’m not a huge fan of firework photos.
Pictures never do them justice.

this is Rose Mary’s neighbor Denise & her cat.
She lives above Rose Mary — I went to her
apartment FIRST by accident & walked right in –
oops!!
I knew I was in the wrong place as soon as I
saw the cat as Rose Mary has no animals!

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER

After cousin Rose Mary’s house we went over to
biking friends Mary & Tom’s house.
We were playing cards & I was the BIG WINNER
for the game of “31” – of which – of course,
I had NO idea how to play….beginner’s luck?

Q
3….2…….1…….
S
which are you choosing……..
