and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.”
–   Robert Burns, Auld Lang Syne
A year of milestones for us:
April 14th –25th wedding anniversary!
May——- Sean’s graduation from Penn State Universary
Nov 19th-the big 5-0 for me!
Here’s some shots I just took from Times Square (I’ll make a collage of many of them):

The Clintons and Mayor Bloomberg get ready to drop the new ‘tourist

attraction’ ball. (lots of shameless advertising abounded tonight!)

    Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.

    Keep skunks and bankers and lawyers at a distance.

    Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.

    A bumble bee is considerably faster than a tractor.

    Words that soak into your ears are whispered…not yelled.

    Meanness don’t jes’ happen overnight.

    Always drink upstream from the herd.

    Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads.

    Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.

    It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.

    Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.

    You cannot unsay a cruel word.

    Every path has a few puddles.

    When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.

    The best sermons are lived, not preached.

    Most of the stuff people worry about ain’t never gonna happen anyway.

    Don’t judge folks by their relatives.

    Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
    Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time.

    Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
    Don’t interfere with somethin’ that ain’t botherin’ you none.
    If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin’.
    Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.

    The biggest troublemaker you’ll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin’.

    Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin’ it back in.

    If you get to thinkin’ you’re a person of some influence, try orderin’ somebody else’s dog around.

    Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

  4. Happy New Year, dear Dianne:-) I watched a bit of the Dick Clark New Year’s Eve party in Times Square and can well imagine how wonderful he felt being able to participate in it once again!! Just so sad to see how his speech is still affected but he sure has come a long way:-)

    You certainly do have some great events to look forward to in 2009…..yes, even turning 50! lol I look forward to another year of friendship with you!! xoxo
