Once again, a Happy New Year to you all. Are you off to a good start? I am. We celebrated Hogmanay, {the Scottish celebration of the last day of the year} in Michigan with a lively group, and feasted as the Italians do. Lasagna, meatballs and all the trimmings. We skipped the traditional fireballs they set alight in Edinburgh, and settled for some roaring logs in the fireplace instead.
A quiet day of "recovery" followed. The good old puzzles came out, a few board games and several rounds of cards...We took the dogs for a long country walk and popped over to Mr. and Mrs. V's to watch the Rose Bowl. (They are most excellent hosts, as they never run out of limes for the vodka, nor vodka for the limes.) The question of New Year's resolutions came up, and mine is: out with the old, in with the new. That's what's fun and fresh about a new year. Time to mix things up a bit...
To that end, let me give you a bit of advance notice that the Clever Girl Winter sale begins this Tuesday, January 10th. Enjoy savings of 25%-75% off selected clothing, accessories, and home goods. (And hooray, no huge snowstorms to keep you trapped at home; you've no excuse not to make it in...)
