New Years Eve is the time to party. Unfortunately with my cold I didn't feel up to "a party", so we opted for a quiet evening. Our neighbours John and Carol joined us for a barbecued steak dinner. The evening was warm so we were able to sit outside and enjoy the weather and the meal. I'm not sure if it's just south Texas or all of Texas but the people in this area definitely enjoy setting off fireworks. As the evening progressed so did the number of fireworks we could hear. A few fireworks were even shot off in the park, which Zaph did not like at all. Around 11 pm we moved to the edge of the park and sat by the farmers field so we got a better view of the fireworks in three directions. At mid-night it seemed like the entire sky lit up. By quarter after 12 we had seen enough and toddled back to the trailer and off to bed though I'm sure the fireworks continued for another hour or two.
