Mom just found out that her new camera also takes short videos with sound so she is trying it out. Mimi is out on the slopes with dad and Butch is having a hey day with the door stopper. I guess I just wasted a whole bunch of mula on dog toys.

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM US WASHITONIANS
During Uncle David's and Auntie Setsue's stay here in Washington, the weather stopped snowing and started to rain instead. In hindsight it was rather a benefit for us as we were able to take David and Setsue up to Bothell to visit with David's childhood friends on New Year's Eve. Of course Mimi found the boys Jordan (blonde) and Chavez (dark hair) downstairs in the basement and decided that it was more fun to hang out with them. Meanwhile upstairs the men were in the living room discussing politics and religion and the women were in the dinning room looking at Joe's wedding pictures. After a while we all gathered in the living room and the guys who had been friends longer than anyone cared to remembered reminised about the good ole' days. It was more fun for me to watch the expressions of the wives faces as the guys told of stories that even the women in their lives did not know about. There were stories about hot wiring cars, setting off these humongous fireworks on the fourth of July, first dates, getting into the bars at the tender age of 14 just by showing their library cards. Judy (brown hair), Adrienne (red hair) and Setsue all had these surprised looks on their face that words just cannot describe. All in all everyone had a good time. We were able to see a bit of fireworks on the way home.
