Wow, Wow, Wow!!!
An amazing time.
It's all a blurr now but it was unbelievable fun.
The list of things we did is unending but I have to highlight a few that are burned in my brain.
We'll start with arriving .... greeted by Ben and Roger ... wonderful friends.
And then there was touring the mall that housed Borshiems jewelry and other amazing stores.
Gathering our supplies at Sams, thrifting on the thrifting strip and cruising around in 65 degree weather.
And then there was the food ... Terry's incredible hand at baking ... yummmmmm!!
Terry and I made Greg's lasagna recipe together ... and now I know the secret!!
Working on machines, for me 2 lux G's in incredible shape and Brandon's Hoover model 63 ....
And, of course, getting the Bendix, the 2 year project ... I remember working on that machine 2 New Years visits ago .... and now to see it purring away with a load full of colorful napkins.
But the true highlight was the Marantz 2270 receiver connected to either of 2 iPods filled with the most amazing "jukebox" selection .... with Greg, Ben and me singing to whatever tune was playing until about 2:30 a.m. .... nights like these don't happen all that often.
And then my friend John arrived on Friday morning to participate in the festivities ... and yes John, my friends are real people, not avatars.
New Years weekend itself was incredible .... local friends, Greg's parents, food, drink ... the energy was amazing.
I'll thrive on this weekend high for quite some time.
Thanks Greg ... really, it was one of the best ... a great time was had by all.
And now onto another year ..... onward and more to come ....
Glad to have one of the most difficult years of my life behind me!!
Thanks everyone for just what the doctor ordered.!!!
