Happy New Year 2009

2009 is finally here! I hope you and your family had a wonderful New Year's Eve, along with a bright and Happy New Year! We celebrated by going out to dinner at McBride's Steakhouse and enjoyed a wonderful steak and shrimp dinner. Of course, my wife had her ususal Fried Mushrooms, along with a Stuffed Baked Potato. Very tasty. I really enjoy going to McBrides. They have some of the best steaks. We had wanted to go to Texas Roadhouse; however, we waited a little too late and the wait time was 70 minutes, so we opted for McBrides. It was a great choice! Afterwards, we watched the movie, "Australia". A delightful movie, very enjoyable and a little romantic. We had wanted to see Marley and Me; nevertheless, I had heard that is was a little sad in the end and I just couldn't handle seeing another sad doggie story. I'm glad we chose Australia.

On New Year's Day we went to Rhonda's mother's house, where Kevin & Jacklyn were visiting and had a great New Year's lunch. Rhonda cooked her almost famous Fried Chicken, with Rice and Gravy, complimented by her almost homemade country biscuits and topped off with Blackberry Pie, with Whipped Topping. Mom Prince had her world famous roast and potatoes, along with her tasty corn and scrumptous salad. Mom made Pretzel Pie. Yum, Yum. Oh, and I almost forgot the Blackeyed Peas. You can't very well ring in the new year without having Blackeyed Peas. I know it really can't give you luck, but it's fun to try anyway. Afterwards, we played Chickenfoot Dominoes and really had a good time. Rhonda won the first round, while Mom won the second time.
