Next year is a Leap Year. We gain a day. People born February 29th gain four years. It's Sadie Hawkins' Day. On that day in Appalachia. a woman can propose to a man. Usually there is a dance where at last a woman can ask a man to dance if not marry. So 2012 will be a long year.
We started New Year's early withao buffet dinner at Pumpernickels. I had sauerbraten and potatoe dumplings in a dark gravy. Bill had everything except dumplings from the Thursday night German buffet including sauerkraut,knockwurst,polish sausage,wiener schnitzel both pork and chicken, goulasch, red cabbage,spaetzle and German fried potatoes plus potato pancakes,apple sauce and sour cream. So the New year's has begun. It will be low key at home with lasagna and salad plus tira misu to ring in the New Year.
We have an extra day in 2012 to lose all the weight we gained in 2011. hopefully we will go to Bithlo to the stock car races. Then all my 2011 goals will be fulfilled. If not we'll do it in 2012 on one of the extra days. That's legal in a Leap Year. So the Floridaze rolls on into the New Year.
