 he did a wonderful job
count down for mid night with times square,
10 pm here 
      We toasted in the New Year with sparkling cider, and hugged and kissed everyone here, What a great time we had and a reasonable time for us old folks.We were home by 10:20 pm and in bed by 11, Arizona time, perfect !

      This morning I slept in until 5:15 am. Wow this is amazing, mind you we did not get to bed until  11 last night, unheard of for us !
      Had a bit of rain overnight again.  We have ever seen this much rain in the ten plus years we have been coming the southwest. But heck not a problem, sure beats the cold frost, snowy weather they having back home, Yup we love this.
more water this morning
the spring desert flowers will be amazing!
            At 7 am I took some turkey bones from the freezer to boil for a tasty broth for soup. more Turkey noodle soup. (make room in  our freezer as well). End up with a huge pot to share with Melinda, Gerry, Patsy and  Bill , and still more for us as well.
this was more ofa stoup (stew/soup)
very thick and hearty
        Then we enjoyed a very warm/hot sunny afternoon enjoying our e-readers and took a few minutes to clear up the headlights on our car and motorhome.
they much better now for a while
clear blue sunny skies and a few puddles
        Around 3:30 pm Happy Hour at Gerry and Melinda's in the warm sun with them, Bill ,Patsy us and Denis and Sandy, sharing more stories and a few laughs as well.
first Happy hour 2017

        Supper tonight a couple quick and easy Fish burgers to add to another tasty  salad,
quick and easy on our Weber Q
Fish burgers and a salad
so tasty.
    That was the end off last year and the beginning of 2017, We all enjoyed this great time here with amazing weather.
    Thanks again for stopping by and we would like to wish y'all a Happy Healthy New year as well.

  6. What a great idea to ring in the new year with the New York ball and not have to stay up for two more hours. Karaoke looks like a very fun way to spend the evening and have the time pass quickly.
