2009 - A good start

We spent New Year's Eve at the Boston Pops' dance party in Symphony Hall. The music was great, we danced into 2009 and it was the perfect evening.

 

Then the unpleasant discovery when we wanted to leave shortly after midnight: my husband had lost the car key. First we searched the dance floor and asked at the coat check whether someone had found a key. Then, we searched outside and backtracked our steps to the car. It was frigid with temps below 10 degrees, and about 8 inches of new snow on the ground. We didn't have high hopes but when we arrived at the car and almost gave up, my husband suddenly saw something in the snow about two yeards away. The car key! Hundreds of people must have passed the key since we lost it, but it was still there.

A good start for 2009.

New Years Eve

We don't know what we will be doing tomorrow evening. It's the first year without kids, since both boys are invited to parties, and therefore we want to do something special. Perhaps we will go to the Boston Pops, if we still get tickets...

But regardless, where we will end up celebrating the start of a new year,
I wish everyone happiness, health and prosperity in 2009.
