Saint Paul MN - New Years Eve...going home when you are tired - or when the snow arrives















Another New Years Eve and another gathering of those most interested in "going home when they are tired".  We added a new twist this year with the arrival of one of our first "winter weather" evenings of the season.  Hard to think of it being New Years Even when it is 40F plus degrees!  But then in mid-dinner the snow started - maybe the biggest, and therefore beautiful, flakes I have ever seen.  It was beautiful - but it did send everyone home a bit earlier than usual.
We had Mary bring us a new game.  And Petar and I went all out with an evening of his favorite Serbian foods - with Mom's recipes.  There wasn't much left  so I think we were a hit!
Winds should be arriving shortly and we will enter the new year with a good bit of winter - before it warms up once again.  I am not sure it is global warming but it just may be all the "hot air" being blown in Iowa for the upcoming primary event next week floating up in a northerly direction............
Happy New Year to all - and a great 2012 as well!
