OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW

HOW WAS EVERYONE'S NEW YEAR'S EVE? HOPE EVERYONE HAD FUN. GRANDPA & I WENT TO THE PARTY WITH THE SAME OLD GROUP. SOME CHANGES HAVE OCCURRED OVER THE PAST I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER HOW MANY YEARS. THE PARTY WAS HELD IN THATCHER THIS YEAR, AT SANDY AND DENNIS LUNTS HOUSE. THEY LIVE IN HER DAD'S HOUSE. JOHN BRYCE HAS REMARRIED, AS YOU KNOW, BUT THATS A CHANGE FROM OUR FIRST PARTIES. BOB COLVIN IS NOW IN A WHEELCHAIR AND HE AND VERNA RAE ARE BOTH ON OXYGEN, WHICH THEY CARRY WITH THEM. I THINK VERNA RAE'S MIND IS GOING. SHE BROUGHT A WHOLE BUNCH OF POTATO CHIPS, BUT SINCE WE HAD PIMALOTTAS, THAT DIDN'T WORK AND SANDY HAD TO RUN TO THE STORE. JOY HURT HER LEFT HAND, HAD SURGERY ON THE TENDONS IN NOVEMBER AND IS STILL WEARING A PROTECTIVE BRACE. SHE PLAYED CARDS BUT COULDN'T SHUFFLE. SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE'S BEEN IN A LOT OF PAIN. BOB IS SPORTING SOME NEW FALSE TEETH AND LOOKS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. DENNIS LUNT GETS ASTHMA EVERY WINTER AND IS GOING THROUGH A BAD BOUT OF IT WITH A TERRIBLE COUGH. I SAT NEXT TO HIM AND IT WORE ME OUT JUST LISTENING TO HIM. I TOLD SANDY SHE SHOULD HAVE HAD BOWLS OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF MEDICINE FOR PARTY FAVORS. EVERYONE WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT SOMETHING. DAVIS AND MALENA DIDN'T GO BECAUSE HE HOLDS A GRUDGE FOR SOMETHING DENNIS SAID ABOUT DOUG DURING DOUG'S DRUG DAYS. PEOPLE, MAINLY BOB, STARTED TALKING ABOUT LEAVING AT 10:00, BUT WE STAYED TIL ALMOST 12. SANDY AND DENNIS GOT A PHONE CALL THAT 2 OF THEIR MARRIED KIDS HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING ICE ON THE ROAD GOING TO THE SKI RESORT, SO I KNOW THIS PUT A DAMPER ON THE PARTY FOR THEM. BOB AND I WERE PARTNERS AND WE WON 2 GAMES RIGHT OFF THE BAT, SO I DIDN'T HAVE HIM PESTERING ME TO BID. AT LEAST HE WAS IN A GOOD MOOD ABOUT THAT. IT WAS A VERY UNUSUAL, INTERESTING, KIND OF DEPRESSING, BUT KIND OF FUN PARTY, BUT THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS.

HOW WAS YOUR NIGHT?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
