Happy New year

It is nearly upon us and I am always a bit nostalgic on New Year's eve. It makes me think about the past year and look towards the new one with aniticipation. This year was a tough one but we are ending it in better shape now that John's working. We will celebrate tonight with our friends and I wish all of you a happy ending to 2009 and a great start and best wishes for 2010! In Holland everyone in the country lights a lot of fireworks to blow away the old and bring in the new. Everyone is on the street and it is very festive and noisy. Here is a taste of what that might look like!
