Now that the year is almost over, I feel like I should say something profound about 2011, but I'm fresh out of unique perspective. However, life if going well: my new garage is about halfway built, my electric and cable lines are all underground, the tarp and the straw are cleared from my garage approach and I'm able safely and easily go from my front door to my car, the old garage and the yard.
The tree is up, the rest of the house is similarly decorated, and I'm ready to throw open the doors and invite the world inside! But everyone is too busy with other holiday obligations, so none of our friends or family has a moment to spend with us. Too bad, because we're FINALLY able to provide an attractive, relaxed, comfortable environment for our friends and family, to kick back or party on!
I think our problem is two-fold. One, the people we spent the last 20 years worth of holidays with are almost all dead. Also, all our friends come from large families and spend the holidays bouncing from one household to another, so no one invites us to come spend time with them (except for a couple of extremely uncomfortable households characterized by deplorable lack of hygiene and loud, shrill, inescapable noises).
So, poor us. We are planning a New Years Eve bash instead. Backyard bonfire, indoor food, and probably will heat the garage or pole barn as well. Starts during the day, bring your 4x4 or maybe even your snowmobiles IF we get any snow before then.
