New Year's Day ~ 2020


 RABBIT, RABBIT!
Welcome 2020 ~ A New Decade

~  January 1, 2020  ~

It's been 20 years since we ushered in the new millennium.
How I remember all the hullabaloo about Y2K
and the hysteria generated about fears of the "end of the world."
The "chef" and I usher in the new year quietly,
just the two of us here at home.
 We pop the cork on our favorite bubbly!

Then we make a toast to the New Year
and a few things we wish to happen.
  2020 ~ We wish for a healthy year ahead,
continued cherished times with family and friends,
and the completition of our remodel project.

And I wish each of you, my readers, 
a healthy, prosperous year ahead!

Cheers to each of you, or
as we say in Texas,

Cheers Y'all!

The summer we married, my husband was in graduate school, and I was employed as a teacher. We took a portion of our savings that summer and purchased a sailboat. We christened our Catalina 22, “Hyacinths For The Soul” after Saadi’s poem. Our "Hyacinths" provided years of pleasure.

      Carolyn, sorry you are having difficulty. I tested it with an email, and it worked. Perhaps you can try again. Did you try on the sidebar where it says, Follow by email? It is FeedBurner.

    Happy 2020 in good Health; our biggest GOOD in life.

    Lovely table for celebrating! Those cookies are so pretty. You have good taste in champagne.
    I remember that Y2K scare too!
    I very slowly getting back to normal after all our family being here for a while. Still working on putting up decorations. I pulled out everything I had this year and it is taking a while to put away.
    Happy New Year.

    What a beautiful New Year's vignette Sarah! I have always enjoyed spending a quiet New Year's Eve at home, I can't even imagine the people who go to NYC Times Square and are in those metal corrals like cattle for hours! Those decorated cookies are too adorable! I hope all your New Year's wishes come true! ❤️

    Happy New Years Sarah! Everything looks fabulous! Yes I remember the craziness of Y2K! We were off to Hawaii with our kids and everyone thought we should stay home! I told them that if the power went out, I would much rather be on a beach in Hawaii than at home in the snow! Glad nothing like that happened. It has been a wonderful 20 years with amazing family accomplishments and events. Hope the next 20 is as great. Glad the two of you had a peaceful New Years.

    Happy New Year, Sarah! I love your beautiful setting for your party for two! New Year's Eve is the one night I enjoy staying in....we've always done that!

    I remember the Y2K fears. I can remember we invited my best friend from HS and her family over, and their children and ours (aged 3 - 10) played with noise makers and all the fun things....

    I must confess my favorite is the Cheers y'all cookie! :D

    xo,
    RJ
