Happy New Year


No time to put a photo on the blog this morning.  I'm busy watching the Rose Parade.  It brings back memories of when I was a kid and we sat on the living room floor watching it in black and white.  Until my grandma got a color TV and then we went to her house on New Year's morning to watch the parade.  What fun to see the flower-bedecked floats in color!  (It was at her house, also, that I first saw The Wizard of Oz  on a color TV.  How amazing to see that colorful world over the rainbow!)

Otherwise, I never liked New Year's Day very much when I was a kid.  Mostly, it told me that Christmas vacation was about over and we'd soon have to go back to school.
