AXO Dinner and Happy New Year!

As often happens, an impromptu AXO dinner was planned for December 29. Marj called, said she was in town and asked if I wanted to join several of my sorority sisters at Surin West. When we were in college, we often would gather here to discuss things of great importance--who was dating whom, how to solve the world's problems, what dresses we were wearing to formal, etc. The food is good, it's never overly crowded and it reminds us all of the "glory days" of college. There were only four of us present, but we still had a great time. I hope that we can get together again soon in the near future!

As we have done for the past three years, we spent New Year's Eve with our FANTASTIC neighbors! After last year's fiasco (the place where we had reservations closed for good the day before New Year's Eve and didn't call to tell us), we decided to stick closer to home. We went right down the street from our house to San Antonio's, a Mexican restaurant, where we ate dinner with the Sherman's and Taylor's. (The Chin's were in Gatlinburg, otherwise I feel sure that they would have been there too!)

After dinner, we went back to the Taylor's and played games until midnight. It was a low-key evening, but a great time was had by all!
