Made it through ok, started off the morning (just like Christmas morning) with a big beautiful rainbow, which I took as a wonderful sign for the new year, then later today we had a terrible wind & rain storm and the power went out... So...made a big cozy fire in the fireplace and lit the candles, got up close to the fire, put my feet up, and pondered the new year... cup of tea in hand......came to the conclusion... life is good!!!! I'm ready for 2006... whew!!!!!!!! ;)
