On this New Year's Eve,
We ponder as we look back,
Over the long bumpy road,
The country got off track.
It's been a rough year, but
Times are gonna get better,
Just wait, for next year, is
Going to be a "Red Letter"!
Now let's listen to Guy,
It's Lombardo, that is!
We love Auld Lang Syne,
To us, the song is his.
The song we do remember,
Tonight with such delight,
For each year we all sing it,
At twelve o'clock, midnight.
Ready for a brand new fate!
To a new and exciting time,
The end of the year 2008,
To the New Year of 2009!
So let's ring out the old,
And we'll usher in the new,
For a very "Happy New Year"
To each & every one of you!

Great poem!
HAPPY 2000-SHINE!!
in czech, although i am mispelling it, happy new year is "Schastny novy roc!" last night we had a sushi party with close friends, then went out to the square where the fireworks were totally crazy in the streets!! it was like a colorful warzone! the vietenamese just kept them coming! i was skateboarding some, taking cover with my friends, and drinking champagne, hollaring and cheering at the explosions. 2009!
I like the big band 'Let it Snow' playing on your page! And nice work with the photoshop, you are really good at that!!

To You.....
What a wonderful creative message....you are good on the computer...
Thank you so much for sharing.
I am back in Las Vegas for just a couple of months...then on to
VanNuys, CA to help a friend for a month...then back to Texas. I
live in Addison, TX. It is a beautiful cosmopolitan town. I am
a teacher in Self-Realization....
So I am still 'on the road'....will probably never settle down.
Best Wishes and congrats on your artistry....creativity....

Hi Bet
Happy New Year!..we just returned from Murrieta last night (Dec 31st)....had a wonderful Christmas with Diane and the family....lots going on....went to The Stampin Post in Temecula and loved it...Deb was giving stuff away....got Tim Stamps – Christmas for 1/2 off and lots of stuff 50% -60% - 70% off....Di and I went there twice....and the Scrapbook store in the same area – Old Town Temecula was also a nice find....
Last I heard from you, you were coming to the East Coast for the Holidays...did you make it?
There is lots to catch up on but now is not the time....
Hurray for 2009!!....2008 was an interesting year!...and a good one!...
:-)Hugs

Betty Ann,
This is wonderful.....every spare moment I look at it. Loved the one of your Mom and Dad. I remember them very well in my teen years & all the times I spent at your house.
Also, remember your kids when we lived in Fl. It was fun seeing them as adults. Also remember the fun times in Ca.

Happy New Year! I was just looking at your Betscrayons as I posted a comment yesterday stating how much I enjoyed it ~ how I remembered your Mom and Dad very well from all the time I spent at your house as a teen & I remembered your kids when we lived in Fl & was fun seeing the pics of them as adults.
Loved the pic of your Mom in the pink hat. What a cute lady. You are so lucky to still have your parents.
I didn't say all that on the comments, but some. However, for some reason it wasn't on there. You are sooo creative. I'm only half the Martha you are, but not with the computer.
Stay in touch.

Betty Ann, yes got your message but we are not much for holidays, we did have a good time with both Liza and Claire's families, we all had dinner here, and champagne to add another Phd. Andy finally got his.
I did notice from your blog that you have mom's or grandma's recipe for corn bread, that would be nice to have.
