We were on a cruise in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico, and after a lovely dinner we retired to our stateroom and watched The Poseidon Adventure (that we brought with us specifically to watch then)! Then we drifted off to sleep around 10:30 pm and the new year arrived just fine without us.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04650193963974000786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736538964281757648.post-84304839059106919802012-01-02T15:34:38.313-05:002012-01-02T15:34:38.313-05:00Early retirement is a wise choice!

We were in bed before 10 this year because Doug got up SUPER early yesterday morning to go hunting with his brothers. <br /><br />Wishing you and yours all the best in 2012. I'm so very grateful for the friendship we formed in 2011. ♥Deb @ PaperTurtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957816023851249171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736538964281757648.post-55189740084251207462012-01-01T20:30:28.289-05:002012-01-01T20:30:28.289-05:00We actually managed to stay up this time although ...We actually managed to stay up this time although 45 minutes before it was really iffy until I told DH that there was only 45 more minutes.

Husband barely managed to stay awake until Jan 1st arrived but me and the dog sat up watching tv for a while after. However, at 2am I found myself trying to convince a supremely comfortable dog that she had to shift from the sofa to her bed in the kitchen. She was not amused!debs14https://www.blogger.com/profile/14521565769251816528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736538964281757648.post-84016997489989947452012-01-01T08:43:42.563-05:002012-01-01T08:43:42.563-05:00Love your reflection on New Years past!
