Happy New Year! Last night we celebrated very low key! First time we have been home in years. We stayed in with Mom and Dad....watched some T.V., played a little Wii and waited for midnight! Dad went to bed around 11:00 and told mom to wake him up at 11:45. She did and surprisingly, he got up. Terry poured some sparkling cider and small glasses and we listened as Dick Clark counted down the New Year on an hour delay. We toasted, kissed, stepped outside to watch the fireworks and went to bed. I also spent a little time talking with the girls on the phone and texting with a friend.Poor little Cooper had a rough evening...so afraid of the fireworks, and they started shooting them off around seven. He was under my folks bed and then made his way in their bed, under the covers.....and when I woke this morning, he was under our covers. Today, he has finally calmed down. He is following mom all over the house as she is trying to pack and pull everything together for their early departure in the morning. He sure is going to miss their company.
I'm making some pork chops, white beans and rice a little later on. I tried to buy some black eyed peas for Dad, he likes them, but Wal-mart was all out yesterday. So, white beans will have to do! Oh, I will make cornbread too!

Sounds like a wonderful way to spend New Year's Eve! I know you've enjoyed your mom and dad's visit and hate to see them go! Poor Cooper...hope he is feeling better. No fireworks here as it was raining heavily. Bullet was tormented by the thunder and lightening!
How was Cooper once they left? Did he miss them?
