A quiet NYE

 

     We don’t often party we are homebodies.  Occasionally we go out for a NYE celebration.  I am very glad we stayed home last night all snug in the house with the dogs and nothing to do but enjoy watching old Thin Man movies together.  It had snowed off and on all day and then by midnight the snow turned to sleet.  Driving anywhere in that sort of weather, would’ve been no fun at all.

     We shared popcorn with the pups.  They love it, beg for it, and will chase down the tiniest piece.  Neither one is very good at catching.  It’s always good for a giggle or two.  I think it’s a Bull Terrier thing since none of ours have ever been great catchers.

     A little after midnight DH went to bed.  I turned the volume down low on the TV but continued to listen to the Thin Man movies while I worked.  The pups were sleeping.  The house was quiet.  It was a perfect night, an enjoyable night, and a productive night.

  1. We had a very quiet but lovely New Year’s Eve as well. Happy New Year to you, and I hope it’s happy, healthy and productive for you!

  2. We had a similarly quiet night too. Thought of you at (our) midnight as I watched the fireworks on TV, which is as near as I like to be to fireworks 🙂
    Jennie phoned to wish us Happy new year just after midnight. Ihope 2010 will be good to you.

  3. It is so fun to read your blog! It makes my world make more sense. Our two love popcorn too, and seem to be just as bad at catching as yours. The Rescue Club Prez suggested that the breed just couldn’t see all that well, perhaps she’s right, I’ve seen a lot of evidence to support the opinion – but those noses! I can wake Tiger-dog out of a dead sleep by wafting bacon near the bedroom door…

  4. Granny Anne and Jennie–I wish you all the best in 2010!

    hubbaloo–If you have any questions about BTs I’ll be glad to answer them we’ve had these dogs for close to 30 years. They can smell food a mile away…LOL!
