And who belongs to the recharger for a Blackberry? I have a theory that people leave things behind so that they can come back and retrieve them. Book, photos, and recharger will be mailed tomorrow, Charmion.

Clancy was yellow but not a lab...not an anything as far as I could tell. But he and Seamus hit it off and are planning a play date together.

One run of the dishwasher and the worst was gone. Handwashed the crystal and all was done.

I too remembered the closet wall after everyone was gone. When I moved in to my house I discovered an unpainted wall in a closet where children's heights were recorded and where guests signed for all sorts of parties - Christmas, birthdays, weddings, etc. dating back to the 60s. I decided to continue the tradition but usually forget until people leave. Need to hang a pen at the door.

That was fun. Thank you all for coming and adding to the fun. Next year we can start earlier and have a lot of music. I probably have enough beer and wine for at least one more party. There was not a huge amount of food left over. There were lots of sweets including pastries I forgot to put out. So there are miniature cream puffs and eclairs for next time too.

Staring to sleet agian. Nice night to cuddle up and be glad for good friends and good times. Happy New Year, all.
