Last of the year:

Never tell your resolution beforehand, or it's twice as onerous a duty.
~John Selden

Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on,
with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us. ~Hal Borland

Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank
where they have no account. ~Oscar Wilde

Time has no divisions to mark its passage, there is never a thunder-storm
or blare of trumpets to announce the beginning of a new month or year.
Even when a new century begins it is only we mortals who ring bells
and fire off pistols. ~Thomas Mann

I made no resolutions for the New Year. The habit of making plans, of criticizing,
sanctioning and molding my life, is too much of a daily event for me.
Anais Nin

Happy New Years' Eve (Sylvester in Germany)

Quotes after my own heart. I never have made new year resolutions, therefor don't feel guilty.

Everybody have a great celebration, or like me, sleep through it.

Happy New Year to all.
DH and I went shopping in a couple of places today, and the stores were very crowded. A lot of people were buying champagne, so there will be some partying going on.
DH and I will stay home and sleep through it all.

Best wishes for 2015.

We will leave here tomorrow mid-morning to fly to Tampa. We'll goof off for a few days and then board our ship on Sunday. I will goof off more there. If the weather allows, we'll return late afternoon on 1/25.
