BIG NIGHT IN A SMALL TOWN.
How better to welcome in a new year than with good friends and a lot of noise. That's just what we did. David, Elizabeth and I went to The Rose Garden for New Year's Eve. It was a small friendly crowd with a lot of good friends. Linda, who owns the place, had hired help for the occasion and taken the night off so she could participate and whoop it up. The music was loud and enjoyable. The band played a lot of old tunes that conjured up images of times, people, and events from the past. (Am I dating myself? Ah, who cares?) After a few bottles of wine inhibitions dropped a little and David, who says he can't dance, cut up the rug with Elizabeth. At midnight Linda served a nice buffet and closed the place at one. Then we struggled against the horrid north east wind and made our way home.
