Did You Know? - The 8th most common New Year's resolution is to improve a relationship
Only around 40% of us will even make a resolution. While nearly all of those vows err on the side of improvement (e.g. start exercising, improve your finances, quit smoking), the 8th most common resolution is to get along better with someone else, according to a 2017 Harris poll. So what’s the number one New Year’s resolution? Weight loss (duh).
Pete keeps an eagle-eye on the clock!
What are you waiting for???
Watch out there... This Party is "Almost G-Rated"... So far!
Lisa's wine is heating up!
We can't watch! What would our grandson say?
(We know what he would say..... "GO FOR IT")
This is getting serious!
We saw this once in the movies... I think it was R-Rated
(R for Romance)
That lady has done been kissed!
Watch the ol' masters...We have had YEARS of practice!
That was so quick!

Did You Know? - In English we have a few different ways to write the sound of a kiss: muah, smack, xxx. They get the idea across, but none of them imitate the actual sound of a kiss. Other languages have the same problem. In Thai it's chup, in German, schmatz, in Greek, mats-muts, in Malayalam, umma, in Japanese, chu. There are two common elements in kiss words across languages. First, a kiss word will usually have a sound made by pressing the lips together (m, p, b), which approximates the lip pursing of a real kiss. In addition, or instead, it may have a sharp, "noisy" sound (ch, ts, k) that approximates the air intake "click" of a real kiss.
What's needed for a true kiss sound is a way to represent the smacking sound caused by the intake of air through closed lips. And linguistics has one! The kiss sound is technically a bilabial lingual ingressive click. "Bilabial" because of the lips, "lingual ingressive" because the air intake is caused by a pressure drop in the mouth caused by action of the tongue (in other words, sucking) and "click" for the pop of release from the pressure change.
Did the kids see us?
We even embarrassed our retired Marine Sergeant!
Duck will be on the menu tomorrow!
Coni will think about this all night long
They said they kept hearing ducks... Don't tell them!
Oh Mr. Housekeeping! Needed on aisle #4
The storm has cleared
The cloud came right over their head!
They know not what they do!
On the bright side, the duck-call is apparently gone!
Wait until they see the results tomorrow
The hold outs keep on moving...
Go Nightlighters
The band is enjoying the gig and love the venue
The kids next door are gone... The "old timers"
keep on moving... We got's stamina
Bright eyed and bushy tailed...
Dancing for the long haul!
Selfie time
How do they do it? Must be the bubbles in the champagne!
Watch carefully
The music keeps coming... We keep dancing
Confetti is still flying around
We kn ow who the dancers are...
Old Ranch is well represented
They have been waiting all night to see what's in the box
Pete is definitely celebration!

Heading home...
One last dance... or two? PLEASE!
Watch the hands sir.... This is a G-Rated affair
How can they still be moving
Everyone is getting their second wind!
Fresh as daisy's
Bob! Robin has your carburetor off your 55 Chevy!
Go Kathy go!
Saying good night
Brian would make an EXCELLENT -007 agent
Leon is ready to rock and roll some more
Just one more twirl around the floor
"I shall dance all the way there!"
Mike & Bridgette get their last wind!
Go girl!
Brian, Nancy, Vince and Jan... About to head out
We resisted tonight... but next year, for sure!
Everyone is OK... Time to roll up the rugs and
Say good night
We (Paul & Sue, Nancy & Vince) met at a
New Years Eve Party 20+ year ago!
Good night all... See you very soon!
Friends... It's what it is all about
Seriously...
A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other.
New Years Eve is the only acceptable time to wear body glitter without being mistaken for a stripper
I'll remember 2018 like it was yesterday
Dear God, my prayer for 2018 is a FAT bank account and a THIN body. Please don't mix it up like you did this year.
Drive safely
Did You Know? - Southerners eat black-eyed peas on New Year's Day for good luck. Thought to have been derived from a Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah) custom, Americans in the South annually gobble black-eyed peas. Most Southerners (and many historians) maintain the tradition began to take hold stateside when the first Shepari Jews moved to Georgia in the 1730s. By the end of the Civil War, the Rosh Hashanah tradition had evolved into a widespread practice in the South, enjoyed by both Jews and gentiles.
