Welcome '08

We hope everyone had a healthy and hearty new years celebration!

I had a shockingly long week and a half off of work (mostly), and Gary at least shortened up the days he did work. Can't say that we accomplished much other than R&R. Gary built a keg fridge and kegged his last batch of brewed beer from a couple of months ago. He also brewed another batch on Friday - vintage 2007.

We had a few friends in town for the weekend, including two dogs under the age of one! It's a good thing Porter & Atlas could entertain each other and Bromley could watch from the sidelines. Went to the boardwalk in Sandwich one day and ventured to Chatham the next. Both odd gray days, but we snapped a lot of photos. Our evenings were spent chatting and watching the Patriots clinch a buncha records!

Then of course was NEW YEARS! Had a lovely evening - limo to dinner at the Dolphin in Barnstable, a stop at Dowses Beach in Osterville, and back home for a looong evening of champagne and Guitar Hero. We went home at the end of the night, but Gary and I were back in our friends' hot tub at 10am the next morning as promised :-)

What else is new in life? Heather started a blog, so check the right-hand column for her Arizona happenins! And our new bathroom tub/sink/toilet arrive tomorrow - can't wait. This weekend is also Grandma McClarran's 90th birthday celebration!

...and so the year begins!
