Happy New Year!

We hope that wherever you are, you have a safe and joyful New Year.

We decided to try something new this year.  Dinner and a movie.  What's that you say?  What's new about that?  Well, dinner was a four course Italian feast, courtesy of Chefs of Napoli.  And what a feast it was!
​

Dave's appetizer mussels and his rack of lamb were spectacular.  And my veal fiorentia and angel hair pasta was scrumptious as well.  And beautiful to look at!


We had some time to kill before the movie, so off to Wal-Mart for essential supplies and a great view of the early moon.

Finally, the movie - the movie I've waited for over a year to see - Star Wars - the Last Jedi - in 3D.  We went to the Villages to see it, at the Brownwood Barnstorm Theatre.  It was definitely the most unique movie theatre I've ever been to.  It was totally decorated in a western style, down to the bathrooms.  The stall doors were made of wood and had a crescent moon, like a real outhouse!  I didn't take any pictures of the bathroom - too many people in there and I didn't want to look strange.  But the rest was definitely picture-worthy.  Oh, and I can't forget the great gold cart.

So, there you have it.  A fairly quiet but totally fun New Year's Eve.  Being able to walk around outside with the palm trees blowing and no freezing temps was an added bonus.

Again, Happy New Year, and may 2018 bring you peace and joy.
