Nu is de dag voor het Nieuw Jaar. Tweede dag geleden, dar was zo veel sneeuw gevallend! Nu, alles is wit!
(Translation: "Now it is the day before New Years. 2 days ago, there was alot of snow falling. Now, everything is white!" my dutch is not perfect, but I try..lol)

Picture a Southern Californian outside, all bundled up, shoveling the driveway...lol...NEVER have I worked so hard!!!

I hope all is well with everyone, and that you have a safe, healthy, and happy start to the new year, and for the whole of 2010!

We bought fireworks the other day, and a coupon for free, fresh made olliebollen came with it!!! We bought enough that we gathered 8 of the luscious balls (well, we stood at the stall and each ate one...lol...NOTHING like a warm raisin olliebol standing in the snow)!!!!

Tonight is the big lighting night, although the festivities started yesterday...the kids in the neighborhood just can't WAIT!!! (and some of the 'big kids' too!). Tomorrow, it will be a brand new year, hopefully a happy, safe, and healthy one for all of us!!!

Tot ziens! (till we see each other again...sort of like Aloha)

    Sounds wonderful!
    Kathi,

    I wish I could be standing in the snow eating a tasty warm olliebol with you! How long will you be in the Netherlands? You are living evidence that life *does* go on--thank you!

    I've been to Sri Lanka, Dubai, Syria, and Sweden, but there are so many places I still want to visit. My middle son & his wife wanted us to go to India with them for a month this winter break, but when they asked I had just been told I probably had cancer and was waiting for confirmation from the biopsy . . . all I could say was that I couldn't plan that far ahead. Now, of course, they know why, and they decided not to go to India this year. Yesterday they told us they want to go in two years, and they still want us to go with them--what a delightful thought!

    Enjoy your time in the Netherlands to the fullest--I'll be thinking of you warming up with warm olliebols and maybe some hot cocoa after shoveling snow! ;)

    Hugs! Sandy

    Es ist der Tag for Neues
    Es ist der Tag for Neues Jahr, es ist sehr kalt, aber hier haben wir kein schnee! ( It is the day before New Year, it is very cold, but we don't have snow here!)

    Nice that you got the fireworks and a FREE olliebollen~ it's funny, isn't it? As you know, here in California they are 100% illegal! I was reading about (is it Jeanne?) lighting sparklers and writing wishes in the air, and I thought, grrrrrrr! We can't even get sparklers here in California!

    So, sweetie, I know you will be thinking of us as you light and see the sky illuminated~I am envisioning a countrywide luminaria in honor of all Survivor-Wariors!

    Happy New Year to you! Glueckliches Neues Jahr!!

    Hugs,
    Chen♥

    They had a special balloon....
    With the Relay saying on it...."Celebrate, Remember, Fight Back" and a big red heart.

    It lights a small candle, which lifts it into the air...33 feet, it says on the package...and it has a space to write on it....how cool is THAT??????

    I will make sure and take pics before, during, and after it takes flight!!!

    Hugs, Kathi
