Belated happy new year

posted by Helen

I know this is late, but I'm still getting over this cold and have been somewhat low energy. We had a nice new year's with our friends, Marc and Cindy, and some of their friends. It was intended to be just an early dinner, but we got to talking and playing a couple of games and ... then it was 2006.

If what you do on New Year's Day is a template for the year, it's going to be a quiet one. I didn't leave the house once. Dave walked Cammy while I made crepes for breakfast. I did a little housework, started restoring the first quilt I made, listened to top hits from 2005 and knitted. For dinner I made chicken and asparagus stir-fry. The secret is to velvet the chicken before stir frying it. It sounds like a pain, but it's not hard and is worth the trouble. All in all, it was a lazy day. I needed the rest.
