Anne and I were exhausted on New Year’s Eve after all our traveling, but we rallied a bit and had a few friends over: John & Donna (with Finn and Sloane) and Sean & Jennifer. Snacks, drinks and catching up, low key and pleasant; John & Donna left with the kids relatively early but Jen & Sean were here almost to midnight. (We made it to about 12:10 ourselves, watching the neighbors up the street shoot some fireworks before crashing.)
New Year’s Day was pretty low key — we did a short walk down to Sand Island with John and Donna (again with Finn & Sloane), and even saw some people doing the Polar Bear Challenge in the Lehigh.
Yesterday I got together with Doug, and also Renee & John to do a towpath ride — we rode to Easton and then took the trail up to Tatamy and back. It was a pretty big ride for this time of year, almost 39 miles, cold and even rainy at times. After I got home, Anne and I made a housewarming visit to Scott & Kellyn at their new home, and then I came home and visited naptime …
Today is a rainy day. Anne is in NY visiting with her sister, and I am here working through my to-do list backlog (cello, blogging, etc). Trying to stay on top of things, trying to keep some new leaf, or even the same old leaves, turned over. I’ll probably post some resolutions in the next day or so.
Anyway, Happy New Year!
