Even though we had a few trials and tribulations getting here, I find I am spending New Years Eve just as I had hoped and dreamed to for a long time.
In an RV... With a retired husband ... and our two grandsons, on a trip to an event I have wanted to go to for many, many year, The Rose Parade.
Priceless.
Happy New Years Everyone!
Craig and Merikay at Avenue of the Giants, California
Dreams do come true. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the parade! And the smell of the flowers! That is my best memory of the parade....and being with my daughters.
ReplyDeleteRetired? Did I miss something?
Happy New Year to you both..enjoy the parade tomorrow!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year's to you two. Nice when dreams come true, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful dream come true, Merikay!! :) Enjoy the parade! Happy New Year! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your dreams came true! Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteDo you suppose that parade is in honor of your dream? I think so. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to start off the new year!! Happy 2012!

I'm so happy for you. Memorize the moment :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, dreams really do come true!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you both!! Wishing you wonderful memories and safe travels in 2012!!
Oh Merikay, I am soooo excited for you and I can't wait to see your photos of the parade. My childhood memories are filled with the smell of the parade flowers and the beauty of the horses. We went every year I was growing up. Would surely love to do it again, although the traffic through LA from Desert Hot Springs is more than we want to endure. Maybe some other year.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you. You worked hard to make this dream possible. The parade sounds wonderful.... maybe one day.
ReplyDeleteBlessings for 2012.
What a great way to spend the new year. Hope you are having a wonderful time. I'll get my cheese order to you later tomorrow (sorry, gotta have a little smack talk!).
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and hubby and congrates on his retirement.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Merikay! May 2012 be just the year you wanted it to be. Enjoy the Rose Parade, and good luck to the Badgers in the football game. We'll be looking for you on TV.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your dream came true. I've lived in California all my life, Southern CA for years, and never made it to the parade. There's nothing like a great parade! I hope you loved it. (And remembered your camera.)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and Craig and your family! :)
Happy New Year. Have a wonderful time at the Rose Parade tomorrow. I got to see it once when I was young and it was wonderful.
