Had a nice New Years' Eve - dinner in a Thai restaurant in Egham, Surrey. Watched the fabulous fireworks along the Thames waterfront (via TV). We're back in Cold Colorado now.
If I don't get a chance to talk to you later today, I hope you have a wonderful new T=yEar's Eve and that you are surrounded by those you love. Sounds like 2008 is going to be a special year fro your family! Warm wishes! - Norm
Thanks for sending the invitation.
It is nice to see people who are enthusiastic about the beauty ballooning and want to share it with others.
