Happy New Year !

Hi  Friends, 
I hope you had a very Happy New Year! We had a wonderful start to the year, we spent it with  family on New Year's Eve . We watched the Acorn drop on our local TV station . It's an acorn around here , what does your locality do? I'm sure there are different spins on the ball drop everywhere . lol


But, before that, last Thursday we drove to" The Meadow Lights" near Benson , NC  to view the beautiful Light display .

















Here is the back story of "Meadow Lights" from  a local TV station.






They also have this beautiful Carousel . I love Carousels !   8 D





 New's Year's Celebration 




 We toasted the New Year with Sparkling Apple Cider & Jones Soda 


Sparklers


 We played a new board game , sang some silly songs & had a ball posing with these silly photo props I printed from the internet .














I am joining :
 Blue Monday, Mellow Yellow Monday ,Ruby Tuesday 2
Our World Tuesday, Rednesday, Outdoor Wednesday 


I  will leave you with this wonderful promise from  Jesus in John 14: 27. My 13 yr.old  granddaughter has it on her New Year's Blog post , it's her favorite verse.. I  have adopted it for my New Year's verse also.


"Peace I leave with you ; my peace I give you . I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid . "


Love & Blessings,
~Myrna

  1. Myrna, beautiful light displays to enjoy the season. We love to go see ones like these too. Sounds like a fun New Years eve too. We had sparkling grape juice to toast in the new year.
    Have a wonderful day.

  15. Here in GA we have the Peach Drop...although I heard some town here in GA was having an opossum drop. I didn't ask. I didn't want to know. I mean won't that give Georgians a bad name?
    You guys look like you had a fantastic New Year's eve. I could barely stay awake for anything to drop....
    Happy New Year to you and yours! Peace to you.

  21. Terrific shots of that light display that you visited! I'm so going to miss all of the Christmas lights when it's time to take them down. Whenever I happen to be out at night, I always take a few detours to check out more lights!
    Happy REDnesday,
