Happy New Year

                                                                         Zao
January 1, 2008. 

I found out last night that my blog at journalspace, LoveZao, has vanished. My reaction bemuses me. I'm not a serious blogger, by any means, but I had some entries I loved. I find I was much more attached to my  journal than I realized. I started writing over two years ago and chronicled quite a bit of my little part of the universe there. Shame on me for not archiving more frequently. I feel somewhat bereft, so I thought I would begin again. That is one thing we humans can do. We can't recover lost time, but we can start fresh... January 1 happens to be a great day for that type of enterprise. And we can learn... to archive!

Today I am making corned beef and cabbage, something I do ONCE a year, on New Years Day. It smells good!  It's cold outside, but the house is warm. We are doing a bit of home improvement and reorganizing, and I erged for half an hour on my WaterRower. I'm wearing my new Christmas gown and Rich is watching football in the den. Abby is home from Purdue and watching T.V. in her room, and Zao is on the porch enjoying the weather. All in all, it's a very happy day.

  6. My Girlfriend had corned beef and cabbage at O Dowds once and I have never seen the fascination with it.

    I like Cabbage and I like Corned Beef but he idea of the two together has never apealed to me!

  11. Hi Paula! yay, I found you! Now I have all three sisters on blogspot!

    I'm now following you too.

    Lovezao looks awesome.

    I know, it was such a shock, but me too,

    it's a new year and time to start anew! At least we all (or most of us do) have new blogging homes!

    Happy New Year :)
