BYC Café

[The Farmers' Daughter]

Sitting here with a cup of coffee watching the Rose Parade and missing SoCal a bit. The parade is so much fun in person, going down there in the middle of the night, and the floats smell amazing as they cruise by.

I miss the citrus trees, the eucalyptus trees, the palm trees, the avocado trees, growing lettuce in my backyard in the winter. The freeways and the crowds - not so much.

Or the pollution I'm sure.

Or the pollution I'm sure.

Most definitely.

Winters were gorgeous, the mountains disappeared into the smog in the summer.

We went out early (not party goers) and had great prime rib at a local restaurant plus small hot fudge sundae - YES!!! That is living it up. Brother paid and son took care of the tip and I took unused napkins home.

I have quite a collection plus sugar packets from everywhere I go. That's insurance in case I ever run out of sweets. Can't be too careful.

A nurse once told me if you get the hiccoughs(sp??) take a spoonful of sugar and it stops it. It really does. But then I figure I need to take more just in case it would come back.

I know I am bad to the bone.

We toasted the new year at 10pm and went to bed. I could not stay up any longer. Getting old I guess...

The only time we do anything for NY eve is if we go very far from home and all spend the night at a friend's house.
My wife has to work NYD so no late partying.
I went out to shoot pool at the top of the next hill from my house. I left there by 9. Wife went to bed and I tried to stay up to watch the ringing in but fell asleep by 10. That's old for you.

Back when I was younger I collected sugar packets! !! I think I still have some? Maybe?

But I collected most of them empty.

I got up to poke the fire so i put coffee on and water to boil. There is a big tray of hot cinnamon buns too, help yourself. Happy New Year!

I would love some of the cinnamon buns!

Thank you for the coffee!
It is -12 here this morning, that is a cold way to start the new year. Keep warm everyone
