We came home from Hot Springs on the 30th. On our way back, we stopped in Little Rock for lunch with one of my dear friends from high school. Ron Hanks and I hadn’t seen each other since 1995. Ridiculous. He’s lived an amazing life in the past 15 1/2 years and it was so good to see him and catch up. We just had to get a picture before we parted ways. We also promised not to go quite so long without seeing each other again.
Once we got home, it was time to unpack the loaded down car and spend the weekend getting things back in order for our return to reality on Monday, the 3rd. We rang in the New Year with dinner at our favorite catfish buffet. We opted to go out for dinner with the kids instead of our usual steak and seafood dinner at home. We dropped the extra money for the crab legs, since it was a special occasion and we still couldn’t have had a better meal anywhere else for that price. Once we got home, we rang in the New Year with Ryan Seacrest and Dick Clark on Eastern time. When I went to bed just after midnight, Rudy was already snoring and the kids had been asleep for a long time and that was just fine with me. New Year’s Eve was just another night in paradise at the Villines house.
