New Year’s Eve Dinner

Each year on New Year’s Eve we have a dinner party. We invite lots of friends over and those who don’t already have plans join us for a fun meal and watching the ball drop at midnight. I’ve already set the table and my husband has been cooking all day. This post will be updated later with more pictures from the evening. I haven’t mentioned walking or exercise in the last few posts but know that I’m still exercising and getting my 30 minutes each day. The new year will begin and I’ll continue my exercise.

Here’s the table set for the evening.

We had a wonderful dinner! We were so glad we could celebrate with many of our friends.

Some didn’t make it all the way to midnight but those that stayed rang in the new year with bubbles! Happy New Year!

Walking With A Friend

This morning I met my friend Anita at her house and we walked around her neighborhood. She’s a friend from work..when I did work that is. We had a great conversation along our walk. We walked 3.05 miles. She lives in a hilly neighborhood so my calves were burning by the end. She walks really fast too! It was a good walk!

4th of July

Last night we went to dinner at the Dails’ house. They made a traditional 4th of July meal of hamburgers and hotdogs. Of course I had one of each. We had a great time enjoying wine and catching up with everyone. It was raining when the fireworks started so only the young ones went to watch and the rest of us stayed inside and had another glass of wine. It was a fun evening!

Engaged!

We have finally decided to get married. On Friday evening I asked my partner if he would marry me and he said yes. We have decided on a February wedding since that will be our 10th anniversary.

Today we joined some good friends of ours at a winery to enjoy wine tasting, lunch, and to celebrate our engagement. They brought a cake to help celebrate. Here’s a picture of us holding the cake of course. It was delicious!

50th Birthday

Today is Warren’s 50th birthday! Happy Birthday! Last night we went to a local restaurant with some close friends and had a wonderful dinner with some wonderful wines. After dinner we went back to Warren’s house to enjoy some cake and ice cream. Warren opened his gifts as well. We had a great time catching up with our friends and celebrating Warren’s 50th birthday. I’m now younger than he is…until the end of May. Here are some pictures from the evening.
