Although the New Year celebrations are big for the Russians, including my Russian-born son-in-law, many (if not most) of us old folks can barely stay awake into the new year! This was one of those times. I was still at my sister's in Missouri. She prepared a yummy meal, and we just dissolved into the evening.
Bro-in-law Jim went to bed upstairs with his book very early in the evening. Shari had a country music NYE bash on television downstairs. I'm not a big fan of country music, but I endured. One of the hosts for the evening was a dude named Derks Bentley. (Who names their kid Derks??) In any case, the new year came in; Shari and I cheered and hugged: then went to bed. As I understand it, Jim was still awake. We all made it through!
I left for Indiana on Tuesday, January 4th. It was sunny but cold. I had only one snag when I got off on the wrong interstate but quickly corrected my error. I was home by 4:30, Indiana time, to my little house-on-a-slab. All was well.
I'm still not totally unpacked, but I have restocked the larder and have made a to-do list to choke a horse! I have no Christmas tree or decorations to take down. Thankful for that! Still, just mopping up after six weeks gone is a formidable task. Continue to wish me luck!
Many thanks to Shari and Jim for putting up with me for six weeks. I tried to be a good guest. Really...I did!
