HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE DAY to you all!
A day full of cleaning and organizing showed
me I sure have more to do, so today I will
finish up. Mom wants the tree down and so
I have decided to give in and take it down
for the first time, before New years day, in a long time.
Guess she thinks it is more messy than beautiful
to look at now. Putting things away makes me
think of what has transpired this past 12 months.
WOW a whole lot. In my calendar book, that I daily
write in, it shows that on Jan last year on New Years
day 2008, we had a foot of snow dump on us here. I shoveled
and snowblowed and still didnt get it all cleaned up.
I sure hope that doesn’t happen again. The forecast is for
at least 2 – 4 inches and so surely we will have snow
on the ground. It is getting old that is for sure and this is
just beginning of JAN. I need to hush though because it
could be worse.

AS for the news about HELL HOUSE.. the power company
had taken the house and disconnected it from the pole.
It had been turned off but they went a step further.
The asst city manager tells me that it is up to the owner
of said property or the new owner to either bulldoze it
or renovate it. So we will see. Rumor had it, that it was
on the list to be DOZED.. OH HAPPY DAY! 
Several other houses in the two block area are already
set to be torn down. ONE last week took them ONE DAY.
It amazes me how fast there is no sign of a building
that was there for over 40 years. Literally nothing but
dirt left. There was clear weather though and so I know
they wait until then to do things.
It is a waiting game now as to what will happen. The
insides are so full of BLACK MOLD that I can’t see them
trying to remodel it. I will be looking in the days to come
for someone to place that familiar red tag and big X on
the front and then we will know for sure it is coming down.

We have no real plans for new year’s eve this year.
Sis will be working, so I will be cooking dinner of the
traditional black eye peas and cornbread and turnip
greens and ham for New Years DAY. I prepared a cassarole that I saw
Paula Deen make on tv, that I am sure we can use
on New years EVE. It says breakfast, but I don’t want a lot of
left overs so I will use it for dinner instead. I usually just have
snacks of chips or fruit and cheese and meat, but this year I had to cut
the salt so the chips and cheese and such were ruled out. I am sure it
will do just fine.

May 2009 be a year of peace,prosperity, change,health, happiness for
us all!!
Wind was tough though and the chill
They are pushing for
