Most of the important events in my life have occurred in years ending in the number 9--my birth, our marriage, our daughter's birth, our first trip to Europe... So, there is every reason for me to believe that this will be a significant year in my life.
A new baby granddaughter is due in early March, and this will be a big wedding anniversary year. Thinking that this current 7 week trip to Europe is the celebration. Not too shabby...
Fireworks are a big part of the New Year's celebration here in Slovakia and the neighbors are really going at it. Once in awhile it sounds like a gunshot and that is making us a bit nervous. The little ones are safe in their beds and it is only me who is a sitting target here at the laptop.
No celebration in this house tonight--everyone is either sick or very tired or both. There has been much celebrating this holiday season and each day we are here is a celebration. These little girls charm us continually with their smiles and giggles and big ideas.
The ball won't drop in Times Square for several more hours, but here in Chorvatsky Grob not a creature is stirring. Not even the mouse that we trapped a few weeks ago!
