We had a nice little gathering yesterday at Lysania's between Santiago's and Zelayas, Zamoras, Marreros and quite a collection of Riveras plus miscellaneous the final tally came up to 20 or so.
Music was all over the place since Eduardo was playing with the surround sound system, at a given moment there was an unlikely quartet of Marc Anthony, Nora Jones,Gloria Gaynor and of course, the late great James Brown (yep that was after liquor ran freely from shots to flutes in alphabetical order)
After literally counting our blessing 20 minutes to midnight (we had a quiet moment in which we all went over our year, sharing the good stuff and relying on one and other to make the best of what may come our way) we all watched the ball drop at Times Square and swore to go to New York next year (Izzy and Michelle are game to pick me up after I get back from Italy and I will hold them to it)
On and all it was fun. We closed the night singing Happy B-Day to Eduardo , at our convenience (his B-Day is Jan 2) and placing bet wether or not Lysanelle (Lysandra's tadpole) will share a birthday with him or not.
Over and Out, since I have to work tomorrow and have no idea where my scrub is ....
A New Year- William Arthur Ward
"Another fresh new year is here …
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!"
