As I mentioned over on my other blog, we had plans to attend a fancy dinner party tonight. A rather driving snow storm was also planned for today, so our hostess canceled. Alas, we were all dug out by about 5pm, but without plans we decided to stay home. I didn't want to drive too far (it was still snowing, though not particularly effectively). And going out to eat on New Year's Eve is usually a disappointment if not a downright bad idea.
So I made an impromptu dinner which worked out well. We've been sitting by the fire and reading. After dinner, we broke out the sparkling wine and started work on a jigsaw puzzle, a truly nasty one given to us by my ordinarily considerate in-laws. (It's a fine tradition to curse them when working on a difficult puzzle that they've given to us.) We had an able assistant in the form of Theo, but I don't think he ever made it up onto the table where the puzzle lies in pieces. I've pretty much given up for the evening; Robert might be at it for a few more hours.
Not a bad New Year's Eve. About as peaceful and peaceable as they come, surrounded by my family of one husband and two cats. We're warm and toasty and safe. I think my hope for the year is that this state continues for a while to come.
