Happy New Year!

A quiet evening in for us.  We are not big on the crowds and amateurs on these "drinking holidays."

Joan made us platters of snacky-type foods, topped off with fresh baked cookies.  I opened a bottle of bubbly, and we made our first toast at 10:00.  There are two fireworks displays tonight: at 10:00 at Louie's om the bay, then at midnight at Clayton's on the beach Gulf-side.  I walked down to the corner at 10:00 where I could get a glimpse between the houses and palm trees.  If we make it to midnight, I'll be ready for bed.

In years past, we would anchor out in the bay and get a "ring-side seat" for the fireworks, then spend the night on the boat... not quite the same experience with our small pontoon.

We'll watch the ball drop in the comfort of our home.

Happy New Year - we wish you a joyous 2020!
