Happy New Year to All !

New Years Eve was another wonderful winter day here at the cabin. The snow fall ended by morning and it was clear for a while, and cloudy the rest of the day. The temperature rose towards the evening.
We made chili, that simmered on the stove for hours, while we did some shopping for the weekend. We enjoyed it with hot dogs.

We decided to go to town to watch fireworks by the lake so we had a small meal an hour before midnight. Shrimp salad is traditional in our family, and we added lots of goodies to go along with the salad.

Ready to party!
