Default How did you spend your last day of 2013?

I got to spend the day with family shooting bows and guns. Later, we built a rail and with a tow rope and a quad got some snowboarding in.

Not a bad way to say good bye to 2013…
Happy New year !

Worked, then some sleep for the next shift.

Then a few minutes to check on things online. Then some more sleep, I hope.

Coffee and Cranberry cottage pudding for friends at 2PM in the afternoon on New Years Eve.

Watched two British Crime videos in the Evening and in bed by 10 PM.
Oh, the wild life of retirees.

Happy New Year to all you party animals.

Took my two oldest girls on a trail ride. It was my 4 year olds first time riding farther than 50 feet on a horse and my 6 year old rode solo for the first time.

Came home shoveled the walks and driveway.
Showered, shaved, and went to friends to ring in the new year.

Got up and watched the World Juniors followed by snowblowing the driveway, etc. Fixed a couple of things on the sled, made a meatcicle for the yotes and tinkered in the garage a bit. Spent the evening watching the Oilers and Funniest Home Videos with my wife. Crazy, exciting stuff eh?
