Lisa came over for her first long-haul trip and amazed Todd with her smoky "O" rings ;-) Isn't this also when you were introduced to pear cider?
Allan and Todd and I took our first ever long-distance trip as a family. Todd enjoyed his first plane ride, and not only did we get to see a host of different cities, but we also got to meet more Net friends offline. Thanks again, Carl and Catch, for throwing the barbecue!
My grandmother passed away unexpectedly yet peacefully, and though we regret that Todd won't get to have her around more, we're glad he DID get to enjoy a few years with her.
I am still in between jobs, but the delay has actually turned out to be a blessing: not only am I able to help out while Mom recovers, but it's provided some great mother-son bonding time, something I haven't really been able to have since Todd was born!
All in all, a pretty good year with more than its share of ups and downs. I am looking forward to 2008 and the things it will bring :-) Meanwhile, this is what we have to ring in the New Year:
That "Ace" brand was the only one I could find, it was at Trader Joe's. All the other big-chain grocery stores had only apple cider. I tried a bit last night, and blergh... it tastes like beer. I had expected it to taste more like pears but it had very little such flavor. Ah well, there's sparkling blueberry juice and Moscato wine for the festivities.
Happy New Year, everyone! See y'all next year! :-D
