We made it! We survived! We did it! No, I'm not referring to 2010. I'm talking about the New Year's Eve Oyster Roast! No one got sick (unless the college kids did later in the night--whosaidthat?). About 30 people came to ring in the New Year with us and it was great! There was the playing of the Wii (which included the gnashing of some teeth), college football (which also included some gnashing of the teeth), food, fellowship and fun! Oh, and OYSTERS! There were young, younger and youngest and FUN, FUN, FUN!!!
Of course, the kids left to go party downtown. The old geezers eight of us left from 11:00 until midnight were just glad we were able to stay awake long enough thrilled to ring in the NEW YEAR TOGETHER!

Can't wait to see how y'all brought in the New Year!
Now THAT is the way to ring in the New Year...Yingling (orginal brewery is in Pottsville, PA) and fresh oysters !!! I just put myself up for adoption at ILYO (Iloveyinglingandoysters)...could you adopt me for next New Year's Eve ? :-)
What fun you had!!! If you adopt Jeff..then you have to adopt ME! How about if we all hop over to your place next year..just tell me what you want me to bring!
Being a transplant to the low-country of SC for 31 years is still not long enough to be called a ‘benyeh.’ If I stay until I’m dead I’ll probably go a ‘comeyeh’ since I am, originally, ‘from off’ (which is the upstate but, rules you know). By day I take care of my sweet little granddaughter, Baby M and do all those things I did when I was a SAHM raising four daughters which has translated to, ‘by day, I am exhausted.’ By night I blog, blog, blog, and blog some more or I sleep, depending on my level of exhaustion (do they still make Geritol?). I have a very unhealthy addiction to sweets (nearly any kind will do) and all comfort foods not covered under the ‘sweets’ category. I’m known for speaking my mind so, if you don’t want to know, don’t ask me. I love to find the humor in my empty nest life. I live life hard and smack into that brick wall almost daily because I’ve always had to learn the hard way. Why change now? I’m so glad you’ve come to laugh with me as I do this middle age, empty nest thing like a BOSS!
Looks like fun. So glad that you got to have your party!!!
