Ed and I have never been much for going out on New Year's Eve. We can't stay awake that long and we're really not rowdy people. We went to bed early and woke up about 4:00 AM to someone knocking on our door. A young man from Vicksburg had wrecked his vehicle in front of our home and came for help. We carried him to the hospital. After looking at his vehicle we realized he was a very lucky guy. There wasn't anything about it that was recognizable. He had angels surrounding him.
We had plans for about 24 people for lunch--the usual New Year's fare-roast pork, baked chicken, black eyed peas, cole slaw, potato salad, green beans, sweet potato pone, cabbage, mexican cornbread, pecan pie, blueberry cake--just the normal little lunch!! :)
After lunch we all settled in to listen to Anna Grace and Sarah [High Road] do a little playing and singing. When we looked at the clock it was nearly 5:00 PM. The guys didn't even miss the football games; they enjoyed the music so much. We all did. Jennifer is hoping that John Robert playing her new guitar rubbed off on the guitar and she will be able to get some of the sounds out of it. :)
These girls have great talent--some of which I will keep a great secret-unless I'm bribed to tell !! :) Only a few shall know!!
By now Jennifer probably has a video on her blog that you can see. Please check it out. And--buy their CD; you'll love it!!
Thanks everyone for a great New Year's Day celebration.
PS: The young man checked out fine at the hospital; when I talked to the nurse at noon he was waiting for someone in his family to come and get him. They said he had a "reality check". I'm sure he did. He will be very grateful for 2009.
