Happy new year!

A happy new year to you! I ushered in the year with some friends at a BBQ party. I was at a wedding dinner before that. Thanks to the peeling skin on my legs, I was at a loss of what to wear. Finally I pulled together a chic look with a simple dress, silver pearl necklace and boots.

While I was running out of the restaurant, a little girl stopped me in my tracks, "You're wearing boots too!", she exclaimed.

What a sweetie. I had to stop and ask for a photo with her of course.

I arrived at the BBQ party to find a table piled high with food. After a light vegetarian (wedding) dinner, I had room in my tummy for more food and wine. We ate and ate until the clock struck midnight. Then we lit sparklers and exchanged greetings and hugs.

Some even did the Bhangra dance, Bollywood style.

It was a good start to the year. I hope you enjoyed yours too!
