Traditional things to do on the first day of the new year:

Go over to Manon’s place for some bubbly and black eyed peas:

Very, very tasty. Thanks, Manon!

Last Day Of The Year

2011 is drawing to a close and the last day of the year was one of spectacularly good weather; even by our SoCal standards 80 F are quite impressive and one had to take a stroll through the Zoo and the Botanical Garden.

So – there we are – some celebration tonight and tomorrow morning we can say: Hello 2012!

May it be a good year.

Merry, Merry Christmas!

The Cutest Elf In Town

We met the cutest elf in town tonight after the Christmas Tree Lighting in our quarter.

Now it is official – Christmas is just around the corner.

This Lady…

…is definitely not a tramp.

However, with a bit of a stretch one could call her “Ol’ Blue Eyes”.

Funny?

Or just trying too hard?
