Walked, as we always do on the first morning of the year. The bridge and the decapitated pole are remnants of this former railroad right of way. We’ll wait until next year for the bar lunch we usually include in this first walk.

New Year in Madrid
Decided 5:00 p.m. was late enough to see in the new year, so “went to Spain” (7 hours ahead of Central time) by streaming Madrid TV. Grape Lady squeezed booze out of one of the plastic grapes; love that cork. Once it was 2021 in Spain, made paella for dinner.
First Lunch of 2019
Surly Furious and Summit EPA (local brews) plus Reubens. Lunch at our local (Maxwell’s), New Year’s Day 2019.
Horse and Carriage
On our walk home from dinner…
New Year in New Zealand
New Year’s Day, 2018, we did what we usually do on New Year’s Day: went for a walk. Today was the longest section of the Queen Charlotte. Tonight, 7:00 p.m. it will be 2018 in Minneapolis.
Punga Cove
New Year’s Eve, continued walking the Queen Charlotte Track to Punga Cove. The view is from our verandah.
Escape to La La Land
Walked to Uptown to escape to a guilty pleasure, “La La Land”.
Final Sunset of 2016
Stood on our porch, watching the 2016 sun go down for the last time.
