January 1, 2012 New Year's Day

Happy New Year!! The fireworks and shooting of guns continued all evening last night and actually seemed to decrease until at midnight there was very little noise in this town. We spent the morning doing household chores. We cleaned up the motorhome after breakfast. Not being hooked up to water and sewer I am unable to do laundry in the motorhome so I took a load of laundry to the laundry room here and washed that load. I did bring the washed clothes back to the motorhome to dry in the drier. We drove out to the local supermarket to pick up a few things. I made the usual New Year's Day dinner of pork, sauerkraut, and mashed potatoes and for dessert a not-so-usual fresh strawberry pie. The afternoon was spent reading, resting and watching football games. It has been sunny today but windy. Temperatures are expected to fall tonight.
