The Saga of Prosperous Snow Continues |
Saturday, December 31, 2016 Good-bye 2016 I'll celebrate your passing in comfort of my apartment in front of a warm television. The "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise" prompt for DAY 1026 Happy New Year's Eve! Happy New Years! What is your favorite memory of this night? Do you stay up to watch the ball drop? Get together with friends or family? Go to bed like any other night? Do you have a secret fantasy you are waiting to happen on this night? My Favorite New Year's Eve Memory Memories whisper delight shedding joyful tears, with Mama and me ringing in a brand New Year. Mom and I had two New Year's Eve traditions that we alternated from one year to the next. Sometimes we went to bed before the rest of the planet rung in the New Year. The reason for this was that Mom, a food server, sometimes had to work on New Year's Day and, therefore, had to get up early. On those occasions when Mom didn't have to work mornings or was off the next day we stayed up and watched the rest of the world ring in the New Year. At these times we would brew a carafe of coffee or make cups of hot chocolate to drink while we watched our favorite local news channel show the festivities on the Las Vegas Strip and around the world. This was my favorite way of ringing in the New Year because Mom was with me. The "Blogging Circle of Friends " prompt for DAY 1507 What is better than gold? Better Than Gold Better than gold is the delight Better than gold is a poem inspired by a dream of walking in paradise and resting in the shade of the Tree of Life. |
