Hi, Mary, other catters!
I've been away lately because I have a new sweetie, her name is Maggie,
and we are casting about for the best possible New Year's gig :)(: . I'll keep watch on this thread to see if heavy-duty curry is required!

Cheers,
Jim

Right now I'm sitting here listening to my grandson playing Silent Night on the guitar. He's worked out the cords all on his own over the past twenty four hours. He just has the last line to do. Luckily my voice is back after a cold and I'm able to help him with the tune. He's going to deserve the nice guitar he's been promised when he comes to the USA next year!

I wish.. not a chance, though. I may, just may, get over there in March. My cousin will be 90 on the 22nd.

And I still have the perfect gift for Mary sitting here waiting for an opportunity to move house.....

Have a great time, everybody!

Your worst nightmare would be me with my life sorted out. I used to clean all day Saturday, do laundry on Wednesday evenings, shop on Mondays, cook on Sundays...a place for everything and everything in its place.

No time for such foolishness as song circles and house concerts...

Brandy is still at my house from last New Years. I don't think anyone has been drinking it.

Sharon told me off for not asking for puddings earlier - I blamed you for that Mary. She says you should get your life sorted out - I told her, no chance.

Christmas puddings will be forthcoming and I'll even make some brandy butter (hard sauce) for those what wants it.

JAcqui must have been looking into her crystal ball and heard my post.
"these things must be done delicately...MMMWWWAAAHAHAHAHAHA"

So we're back to a buffet. No problem. I can be flexible right until the ham comes out of the oven.

That goes for you too Maeve.

I miss you Jacqui. So much going on and have no one to commiserate/giggle with. Kendall responds in single syllables. A Mainer you know.

Did you get a plum pudding for New Years?

Mary,
I don't know that Jacqui didn't speak with Meghan about it before she left. I also don't know for sure that Meghan is planning on coming. New Year's Eve would have been her and Ezra's wedding anniversary so this year we're doing whatever Meghan needs us to do to get through the night.

The invitation was supposed to be sent via your evil step-mother. Must have tripped over her broomstick.

Down to 12 - sit down it is.

Jim will be working. Unless someone else has confirmed with Meghan I am not aware that she is planning on being there. Deb and I are uncertain at best.

Bathtub gin at Mary's comes with garnishes courtesy of Alice.

I'm headed off to Canuckistan shortly. Planning a stopover tonight (probably at the Cornwall Ramada Inn, which has WiFi) as I really don't enjoy the 9-10 hour drive in the winter. Summer's not bad, but winter stinks. Y'all have a good SolstiChrismaHannaKwanzica or whatever. Will see you for New Year's Eve.

oh, yeah. Hoping not only for non-flakage, but for moderate temperatures so we can leave the house and not stay tied to the woodstove. Yes, we have an oil furnace for backup, but it doesn't have a thermostat so can't be set at "A Little Above Freezing" or "Not Painful to Walk Back Into From Outside", etc.

"Sour Cream Raisen Pie" it is and it does have a sweet and sour mince meat taste, too rich for some but then there's more for the rest of us.

Anyone found drowning tiny nuns in champagne will be sent to bed.
Spaw if you start now you and the family can be here by New Years.

Micca,
Take Kendall's advice and ride a Virgin across for New Year's Eve. We will miss you but expect a call... hee hee

Sour Cream Raisen Pie sounds suspiciously like mincemeat. It should meld well with Christmas Pudding.

It's snowing here and will snow on Christmas. Hope that means New Years Eve will be flake free.

You tie a tiny nun to a drink umbrella, stick it in a glass of champagne and when the bubbles make her float up, she's Sister Mary Poppins.

Not quite sure where you are, but fear it might just be out of travelling distance from here in Cambridgeshire, England, in the sort of weather we are likely to be having then. But the kind thought is much appreciated and I wish you a gr8 party and the happiest Of New Years!
