happy new year.kelleys island

Sticky and I had a laid back New Year's on Kelley's Island. We started off the Holiday on Saturday which happened to be my Mom's 50th B-day!! She scored a Scooter for cruising around Kelley's Island on and a new Mac (SO JEALOUS!). Please do not think that I am an awful daughter b/c of the lack of Birthday Girl pics but seriously I would not be alive to blog ever again if I posted pics of her - she is like me and prefers to be behind the camera! :-) The rest of the weekend was very relaxing. It was great - Stick fished, I read, Stick fished, I read (boy, we are getting old!). We needed the break though b/c we have both been extremely busy as I am sure the rest of you were!! I really do love the excitement of this day - a new beginning for everyone and a chance to reflect on everything that happened the year before. We started off last year just about to be engaged (none to my knowledge of course - so tricky Sticky keeping it under wraps over the Holidays!) and now here we are with less than 2 months to go!! This truly has been an exceptionally good year!! I am way too tired too gush and reflect currently (and I already did a little of this on the other blog) but I do want to thank everyone for making 2006 SO GREAT!!

A few from Kelley's:



I like the texture and color on this old chair:



The view from the living room window is great even in January!



We stopped by this old winery for literally 2 seconds on the way out - I promise I will go back and take more on the next trip!





And before I forget I have to let everyone know that HELL HAS FROZEN OVER because Sticky's Buddy Hoser has finally popped the question to his lovely lady Katie!!! I AM SO EXCITED FOR THESE TWO!!! They have been dating so long that a few of Hoser's other buddies, including Sticky, have met, dated, engaged and married their women all in the time frame that Hoser and Katie have just been dating! I truly cannot wait for this wedding!! Please Katie give me a call or email if you need anything at all!! :-) And I cannot tell you guys how much it means to us to find out that you are all making the trip to Savannah - Sticky truly has some GREAT FRIENDS and I really could not imagine that day without any of you!!
