Another Fourth Of July WithOut You- Miss You Bobby /From 5 Years Ago

Advertisements
Bobby and Alex

To Bobby,
Wishing you were here. Missing you as I always do. It is just harder on holidays.
Your cousin’s birthday is Monday. You were so close to her. To all of them.
I can’t believe that you would be 35 if you were still here.
I see you all the time in my dreams . You have aged in some of them. I have even seen a couple of kids walking with you.
Wishing I had all the photos that were lost in the fire. Oh so many of you. I have so few now.
I am remembering all of the firework events we went to.
You loved them. You were so proud to be an American. You’d be disappointed in our country right now.
Miss You . Love you.
Mom

New Year’s Eve (In Our Neck Of The Woods) & Why It Was A Great Start To 2020

Advertisements

Year Years Eve is always quiet on Rolling Meadows Ranch  where we live.
It is USUALLY quiet at Lake Kissimmee State Park where Danny is a Park Ranger and I volunteer.

The View Out Of Our Back Door

The photo above was taken 2 weeks ago.
They were repairing DAY USE AREA.
Lake Kissimmee State Park.

Danny got home later than usual last night. The park closed at 6 PM . He didn’t get home until 7:10. It was a very quiet night after that. NO CALLS HERE.
Danny was the Ranger ON CALL.

Cheesecake. I finished the last of it NYE.
The PHONE is a HUGE PROBLEM FOR ME. HIS. Not mine. He is always texting SOMEONE.
Shrimp And Steak. Danny never had any of it.
Seafood Corn Chowder. It was so good. Danny NEVER had any and he asked for it.
I have been watching the entire Downton Abbey Series this past week.
Christmas Day. In the car . Waiting for trains that never came and a PROMISE broken. We were suppose to stay at the house we rented and have quality time. Christmas Time.

Danny had 2 bites.

Family Time :Christmas Eve.

Almost always on the computer. Too busy to talk to me. At least we were in the same room.
The view out our back door.
Our Christmas Party
DAY USE AREA Zipprer Canal Re- building the rails. Before Christmas.
Staff working frantically to finish before the weekend BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
One of our Better Evenings the past few weeks. Still a huge concern for me. Worry. Anguish. Fear. Anger. Emotional. Danny was drinking. AGAIN.
Snacks I fixed that Danny never ate.
Oyster Stew. The Weekend BEFORE Christmas. Danny asked me to make it, then Never ate it.

Rolling Meadows Ranch Our Little Piece Of heaven on earth. Acreage : Almost 6,000 acres.
Rolling Meadows Ranch Our Entrance and the beginning of our mile long dirt road. The fence needs painted.
Almost Home
Collier Farm Road
We have cows on all 4 sides at Rolling Meadows and Scrub Cows At Lake Kissimmee State Park.

Our backyard.

Our Yard

Seafood Corn Chowder

There were a few fireworks throughout the evening. It was QUIET AT MIDNIGHT.

I had an amazingly quiet and relaxing New Year’s Eve and a great beginning to 2020.
The stress was gone.
I honestly didn’t expect anything from the evening.
I was so disappointed with our Christmas Eve/Day on vacation that I decided early yesterday : NOT TO MAKE A FUSS FOR NEW YEARS EVE.

No Special Dinner Or Snacks.
We had a good dinner (We ate separately and at different times.) We had different meals.
Their were plenty of snacks all night but I just set them out.
No WORDS!
NO SARCASTIC COMMENTS!
It helped that the stress was virtually, gone. Danny is working late field this week and HAD NO WINE IN THE HOUSE. I refused to get any for him.
So no worries there.
All I asked Danny to to do was to give me his “UNDIVIDED ATTENTION” for 30 minutes last night. 15 minutes before Midnight to 15 minutes AFTER. NO TEXTING or BEING ON THE COMPUTER during that time.
I wasn’t really expecting it.

We both had a quiet night. Yes, he spent it in his computer room and I spent it in the kitchen. He did “HIS THING”and I did mine.
Except for those few moments when we had “FAMILY TIME”. The cat even got a special MIDNIGHT TREAT.
Danny surprised me at 11: 42 PM . Or thereabouts. He actually came INTO THE KITCHEN and SAT DOWN. NO PHONE IN HAND.
That alone was an accomplishment.
NO PHONE.

NO DISTRACTIONS!
OK, my phone went off….BUT Mine were family. Remembering how lonely I get at MIDNIGHT ON HOLIDAYS.
(Bobby use to call exactly at MIDNIGHT: if he wasn’t with me.)
I didn’t answer the calls or the texts til after Danny left.

I wasn’t lonely last night.
OK, I was but not as lonely.
Danny KISSED ME.
Really KISSED ME.
WITHOUT ASKING.
It had been MONTHS.

Then He Kissed Me
The Crystals
Well, he walked up to me and he asked me if I wanted to dance
He looked kinda nice and so I said I might take a chance
When he danced he held me tight
And when he walked me home that night
All the stars were shining bright
And then he kissed me
Each time I saw him I couldn’t wait to see him again
I wanted to let him know that he was more than a friend
I didn’t know just what to do
So I whispered I love you
He said that he loved me too
And then he kissed me
He kissed me in a way that I’ve never been kissed before
He kissed me in a way that I want to be kissed forevermore
I knew that he was mine so I gave him all the love that I had
And one day he took me home to meet his mom and his dad…

I didn’t even listen to AULD  LANG SYNE  until 12:20 AM

It has to be Guy Lomardo’s version.
I really love this version though.

Auld Lang Syne Dougie MacLean version (With Lyrics and English Translation)

Auld Lang Syne
Lea Michele
Should old acquaintance be forgot
…
And never brought to mind
Should all acquaintance be forgot
…
And auld lang syne
…
For auld lang syne, my dear
…
For auld lang syne
…
We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet
…
For auld lang syne
…
And surely you will buy your cup
And surely I’ll buy mine
…
And we’ll take a cup o’kindness yet
…
For auld lang syne
…
We too have run around the slopes
And picked the daisies fine
…
We’ve wondered many weary foot
…
Since auld lang syne
…
For auld lang syne, my dear
…
For auld lang syne
…
We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet
…
For auld lang syne
…
We too have paddled in the stream
…
From morning sun to night
…
But the seas between us broad have roared
…
From auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
…
For auld lang syne
…
We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet
…
For auld lang syne
We’ll take a cup o’kindness yet
…
For auld lang syne
…

13 Lucky Foods for the New Year

via 13 Lucky Foods for the New Year

“Hubby is pretty insistent on eating specific foods, so we will have those. But I think I’m going to throw in a few more for good measure. From what I have read, I guess the key to being healthy, wealthy and wise is to eat certain foods on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s day. The custom has been around for ages, and since we need all the extra help we can get, I figure it can’t hurt. At the very least, we’ll start the New Year with full bellies and celebrate that we survived another year together!”

From Sarah,
This is a great post. Robin shares lots of ideas.

Julekage — ravenhawks’ magazine

Like many holiday breads, Julekage involves candied fruit and nuts, and it is heavily spiced. The traditional spice used in Julekage is cardamom, although nutmeg, cinnamon, and other flavors may be used as well. Many fans of the bread believe that it tastes best warm out of the oven, although it can also be toasted […]
