New Year’s Celebrations

So, we were very excited about the New Year coming! Yup, we celebrated by going to bed at 9:30. Since I am such a light sleeper, I actually woke up to the neighbors (and their kids) yelling out the count down. (Our bedroom is only about 6 feet from our neighbor’s back deck.) I heard their little noisemakers and was happy when they tuckered themselves out after 30 seconds of screaming. “Yay, time to fall back asleep!” I thought as I rolled over. Then our neighborhood and the neighborhood behind us exploded with fireworks! “Groan!”
