...and even though it hasn't happened yet, I'm going to add the New Year's Eve party we'll be attending tomorrow, with some of the people whose names grace this list of happy-making memories, so I feel it's not a far stretch to consider we will have a Great time with them then, too! Also, the Ramones gig is sure to be a knockout second weekend in January event, and I'm willing to bet it will top the list of 2016 memories next year! I hope you all had a wonderful trip around the Sun, and that your lows weren't too low, but that you're highs were wonderfully high! Here's to more of what's good in 2016 ~ see you next year!
A full life, and with eagles in it besides!
ReplyDeletebears, too, but he didn't make the list, as he was just eating some of the trash the tourist left behind! thanks for the visit Mrs. Crotty!
