Happy New Year

This morning I made an early trip to the grocery, before the rush since the stores closed early and will be closed all day tomorrow. I came back to the studio, Dale and I decided to visit with Mary and Steve since they were heading home after a week in Aruba. We wished them a safe journey.






We headed back into town for the fireworks down the main street at 1 pm. We watched as they blocked the street, and then laid out a string of firecrackers about 300 yds long. Shortly after 1pm they lit the string, the sound was so loud, thank goodness we had put something in our ears. We had a front row seat for the festivities. I took pictures and then got some great video of the action.
As soon as it ended we jumped in the car and headed back to our home away from home. As we turned in we saw Mary and Steve were still waiting for a cab, so we offered to take them to the airport. They loaded their luggage and we took the back way to the airport to avoid all the congestion downtown. We dropped them off, said our final good-byes and headed back out to Malmok. I decided to go snorkeling and Dale said he wanted to get on the laptop. I enjoyed an hour of snorkeling down the road. Dale and I got into the hot tub since no one was in it and then we started our supper. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset on the patio while enjoying spaghetti, salad, and garlic bread.
2007 went out in style with a dramatic sunset in Aruba.
Tonight we will go out to the beach to watch the fireworks over the island and bid goodbye to a great year.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!!
