I am sorry I didn't make it. I spent the evening with my kids at home. I was so crazy cooking dinner that I didn't get to my computer till today (when I finished washing the dishes - no dishwashers down here). I prepared roast beef with mustard sauce on the side, potatoes, salad, ice cream pie. My kids wanted to stay awake until midnight. We turned on the CD player and me, ms DJ, played their favorites: Blue Suede Shoes, jailhouse rock, Twist and Shout. We entered the new year to the sound of my all time favorite, Johnny B. Good, with my son Bernardo dancing frenetically in his knees as if playing an invisible guitar. Then we had a private fireworks showing. This year there were fireworks not far from my home. All of sudden we noticed that we had privileged view point to watch the high fireworks. And they kept coming almost till 1am! We toasted with guarana, our own soda, that has the same color of champagne. It was fun.
Hugs to all. I hope we can chat a lot all through this year. Chat helps me feel less distant!
