I remember my first decade change, from 1959 to 1960. All I had known were the ’50s, and it was almost unbelievable to a 10-year-old (almost 11) that the year was changing to 1960. Wow. That was 50 years ago.
New Year’s Eve (last day of 1970), my DH proposed to me, and obviously I accepted. Wow. That was 39 years ago last night.
After those two New Years, it’s all kind of a blur.
Yesterday we spent painting DS#3′s double bungalow (I learned it’s really not a duplex, it’s a double bungalow). I guess we should know what we’re painting! It’s still going painfully slow. We came home, and reheated some leftovers and had a nice glass of bubbly…
I should have taken a better photo of my table runner. It’s from a book by Terry Atkinson, and it’s my favorite.
And I just found out that I “laundered” my cell phone. What a way to start the new year! I’m hoping it will dry out and work again, but I’m not too confident. Well, we’re out to breakfast, and then back to the salt mines double bungalow to continue our paint-a-thon.
Wishing all of you a wonderful new year.

Try putting your cell phone in a container of uncooked rice. Bury it in there, seal it tight and leave it for a day or two. It’s suppose to be a very effective way to dry out electronics. I did it with the remote Riley threw in the tub and it worked great!
Happy New Year to everyone!!
You jogged my memory on marriage proposals – last night was 2 years ago for me and I’m the same age as you. Good luck with the painting!!
