Oh I know I could have used theirs but the set up just wasn't right and well I was on vacation & fun got in the way.
And now its New Years Eve.
And I really do love the celebration of a new year. New beginnings, new hope for the coming year. Too many including myself, 2008 was a difficult year. But the new year looms ahead with possibilities and hope. And I am believing that 2009 is going to be my year!
2009 is the year I will sell my house
2009 is the year I get on the "open road" full time RVing, exploring the most beautiful country in the world.
2009 is the year that these goals, dreams will come true!
2009 is going to be your year too!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
"Auld Lang Syne" is a Scottish poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 and set to the tune of a traditional folk song (Roud # 6294). It is well known in many English-speaking countries and is often sung to celebrate the start of the new year at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day.
The song's (Scots) title may be translated into English literally as "old long since", or more idiomatically, "long long ago"[1] or "days gone by".
Auld Lang Syne
Robert Burns
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne,
For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne
We twa hae run aboot the braes
And pou'd the gowans fine; we've wander'd mony
a weary footSin' auld lang syne
We two hae paidled i' the burn,Frae mornin' sun till dine;
We two hae paidled i' the burn,Frae mornin' sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd Sin' auld lang syne
And here's a hand, my trusty friend,
And here's a hand, my trusty friend,
And gie's a hand o' thine;
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne,
For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne

RVing across the country, something I want to do in my lifetime and something I think everyone should do.
I traveled out to Colorado for the New Year and we had to drive through Kansas. Most people complain about the emptiness (which is true), but you get an amazing sense of our country's vastness and beauty when you're driving in the middle of nowhere in the heartland.
By the way Auld Lang Syne, for some reason, is the perfect song to ring in the New Year...it just sounds right.
There is quote supposedly by Steve McQueen, “I would rather wake up in the middle of nowhere than in any city on earth.”
And I would, for the reasons you state," an amazing sense of our country's vastness and beauty"
And yes, Auld Lang Syne is just right
