HAPPY NEW YEAR, 2005!! WE BOOKED FOR THE NEW YEAR'S EVE PACKAGE OFFERED BY THE LODGE. WHAT A WONDERFUL TIME WE HAD! EXCITEMENT WAS IN THE AIR. WE CHECKED IN: WENT TO THE LOBBY, DECIDED TO WALK THE TRAIL FIRST, THEN WE WENT TO DINNER. THE WEATHER WAS JUST COOL ENOUGH TO TAKE THE TRAIL AND REMAIN COOL. WE DID NOT EVEN NEED JACKETS JUST WORE LONG SLEEVE SHIRTS. WE DID NOT WORRY ABOUT SNAKES THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. WE REALLY DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH YOU EVEN HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SNAKES, THOUGH. WE WOULD NEVER DO ANY TRAILS IF WE DID! THE TRAIL WAS NICELY CLEARED OFF. WE DID SEE SOME DEER. THEY WERE AMAZINGLY CURIOUS ABOUT US AND DID NOT RUN OFF AT OUR FIRST APPEARING. WE DID NOT GO DOWN TO THE BIG BOAT DOCKS BECAUSE THE EVENING WOULD BE TOO SHORT IF WE DID. THE ALL YOU CAN EAT PRIME RIB WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD! THE SERVER KNEW WHICH PIECE TO GIVE TO YOU WHETHER IT BE RARE OR WELL DONE. THE BUFFET WAS GOOD AS USUAL. THEY HAD CANDLES ON THE TABLES WHICH SET THE EVENING FOR US. THEIR PACKAGE OFFERED A PARTY, ALSO. WE DO NOT DO PARTIES. WE DO HAVE A GOOD TIME TOGETHER AND OF COURSE HE LOVES BEATING ME PLAYING GIN RUMMY
COPY OF THE NEW YEARS SPECIAL.
. I DID GET BEAT BUT ONLY BY ONE HAND. OH, EATING MY BIG BLOCK HERSHEY CANDY BAR TOPPED OFF MY CARD PLAYING. WE COULD HEAR A FEW COUPLES BEING A LITTLE LOUD BUT HEY IT WAS NEW YEARS EVE! WE ENJOYED SITTING IN THE ROCKERS ON THE BALCONY WATCHING YOUNG COUPLES ARM IN ARM TAKING THEIR WALKS ON THE PATHWAY. WE ARE GOING TO SIT OUT ON THE DECK NEXT TIME. NO TELLING WHAT ANIMAL LIFE WE MIGHT SEE. WE COULD HEAR THE RIPPLING OF THE WATER AGAINST THE BANK AND THE SOUNDS OF DIFFERENT BIRDS AS WE SAT ON THE BALCONY. WONDERFUL SOUNDS! THANK YOU LORD FOR A WONDERFUL TIME AND FOR ALL YOUR BENEFITS LAST YEAR AND ALL THE BENEFITS OF BEING YOUR CHILD IN THIS NEW YEAR OF 2005!
