Happy New Year!!



Live from the French Alps: the fireworks are waiting on top of a hill! (this is only one of many boxes). Tonight at 6:30 pm there will be a torch-lit skiing descent by the ski instructors, followed by mulled wine for the adults, and hot chocolate for the kids while we can all admire the colorful  display of fireworks.

Thanks for the kind holiday wishes posted below during my blogging break (which is not over, but the weather isn't being cooperative today as you can see from the posted picture, so I am indoors and not skiing). Happy 2009 to all and each of you, may the year be filled with positive experiences, much health and happiness, love and peace, and of course: happy blogging!
