42 Candles

Thanks to everyone who helped me blow out 42 candles by taking me out, 

giving me a gift, sending me a private message, a tweet, a text, making a Facebook

 post or sending me any type of greeting (printed, written, photographed or typed).

Farewell 2014. Hello 2015.

Christmas party with my family (and Scott & Steve) at Mom & Dad's.

No gathering is complete without a grown-up game of Cards Against Humanity.

There were other stops to be made this week and other fun sights to take in as well...

As I have for several years, I was lucky enough to ring in the new year with 

Billy, Kelly, Scott & Steve. Dinner at Bar Primi and countdown at Billy & Kelly's.

Thank you 2014. You were very good to me. Here's to a beautiful 2015 for all of us!
