Happy New Year

Ok....so I'm a bit late with the Happy New Year greeting! But all the same, I hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas with their loved ones & that the new year is off to a great start for everyone. I'm a bit sad that the holidays are over and that our decorations have been taken down. If only we could remember to spread the joy of the holidays throughout the whole year!! So many of the holidays fall toward the end of the year that once you get past New Year's its a long haul until the next one. At least for one that we get off & get paid for....for me that is...the next one isn't until Memorial Day!

I am getting a day off next month...woo hoo! A niece on hubby's side is celebrating her 16th birthday next month so we are off to New York to be part of the festivities! We'll only be there a couple of days...arriving Friday morning and leaving Sunday afternoon, but I am hoping that we'll get to go into the city on Saturday and see some genuine NYC sites! I've never been and who knows when/if they'll be another opportunity so it would be great, even if it is a whirlwind tour!
