Good morning everyone. Some fog but lifting fast, supposed to be 82 today.

Gordon your fireworks looked beautiful. Watched a program showing the different countries and their fireworks. I live on the Gulf side of Fl. Port Charlotte, Fl. between Ft. Myers and Sarasota. I have one of those mango trees in the backyard. It is just now getting those odd clusters that blooms will later appear on.. For some reason they are not good to eat. What a mess they make, the rabbits love them. Neighbors behind us has a neat star fruit tree. He use to have banana "trees" and would have stalks of bananas. It got to cold one winter and he never replaced them.

Katie Kmart handled Martha Stewart for a short time. They had all of her Christmas things on sale at 70% off. I always loved her color combinations and really picked up some nice buys.

Marson I doubt if there was much chocolates left for after Christmas sales here. They started running out of all the good varieties after first week of Dec. Got a box of Hershey's Pot of Gold chocolates, first time ever had Hershey's assorted chocolate. I remember those days when the snow would blow against the outside doors and took forever to shovel even a little opening.

Susan looks like you may be getting another wet day. Fellow called and asked if he could come and clean gutters on Monday. Said the fog made the roofs so slippery. Odd to be in business and not take credit cards. He said had never gotten set up to use them. He is a one man operation and I am sure trying to save money and those CC fees are one way.

I see they are cracking down on the cruise ships again. Hope they aren't going to have to float around at sea like what happened last year. Seems people just can't win this year. Now that terrible brush fire in Colorado. Odd snow all around and a raging fire burning towns. Fellow was teasing tiger at Naples zoo and was sticking his hand into fenced area of tiger. Tiger had hold of his arm and policeman shot and killed the rare tiger.

Shelly are you going to take anything to the last auction house you tried? The one auction house that was around here shut down. I talked Bob into going with me a couple of times. they would try to sell those 12 place settings of dishes and were so slow.
People would just get up and leave they moved things so slow.

Get your naps so you can watch the ball drop at midnight.
