Welcome 2017

Well ......Rich was asleep around 11:00 pm.....but I welcomed in 2017 at midnight.  Thought for sure the fireworks in the neighborhood would wake him up.............but I was wrong.  Both of us slept in a little longer than usual this morning!

It started out as a "lazy" day........but we discussed the possibility of either finishing up some painting outside OR doing a little fishing.  Definitely not a difficult decision.  Too hot to be outside painting!  I did a little housework, watered the plants and started dinner. Found some post lights for the dock on Amazon........and ordered them!   Rich went down to the dock to fish.   He only fished for about an hour but caught four nice large mouth bass, just under 16"!  Great way to start of the New Year!

Neither of us are crazy about the taste of large mouth bass - but  John and Diane, next door, were more than happy to take them......and will enjoy them. 

Dinner was done just shortly after 5:00...............and it was delicious!  Today was Ham, Scalloped potatoes, carrots, green beans and fresh rolls....... a beer for Rich and a glass of wine for me!  And we sat and watched a movie.  Nothing special for dessert.........still finishing up the Christmas candy and baked goods. 

And so we said farewell to 2016......and welcomed in the New Year!
