I am in shock! This neighborhood I live in is notorious for fireworks, year round, every day but it has been very quiet today and tonight. In fact, I think it has been very quiet since Halloween. I remember they were going off all day and night on Halloween. They must have ran out!

Good Morning everyone and Welcome to the 2025 Break Room! Fresh brewed Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready for all to start the first day of the new year!

Hope it is a better year for everyone!

Happy New Year GameBoomers

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Happy New Year to all my Boomer friends. Music Bingo at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

I hope this is the best year ever for all the Boomers.

To all my fellow Gameboomers !!

Enjoy your shocking quiet and lack of fireworks, oldbroad! Nothing out here in the country.

I did finish my book at 12:01, so was actually up to welcome the New Year! I indulged in a small glass of wine and went to bed.

Loved the card, Lex! Jacquie Lawson cards are the best! Fogfighter, we have cold and snow heading our way this weekend. The cold could get down to 0 degrees F or below. That's at lease -18 degrees C!

Did laundry yesterday, so nothing on the agenda today - woot!

Happy New Year, everyone!

Good morning everyone and Happy New Year to one and all. I discovered in my first year of retirement there were not enough hours in the day to do all the things that were necessary, let alone to do what I wanted to do. Yes indeed, no change from the previous many decades when I was working Made it past midnight watching movies and then reading after that. Our neighborhood fireworks were not as bad as previous years at all! You had the perfect New Year's night oldbroad.

Wishing you all a very happy and blessed New Year!



ps ... thank you for the card Lex ... I have always enjoyed Jacquie Lawson cards!

Happy New Year everyone. Watching the Rose Bowl Parade

Good morning everyone.

We ended up having about 5 minutes of annoying fireworks right next door. They obviously woke up their own baby, because he started wailing. Thankfully, it ended quickly.

I was up reading until about 12:30, so I did usher in the new year for the first time in many years.

Sweet card, Lex!

Good Morning Everyone and Welcome to day 2 of the New Year! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready to help you start your day!

Thanks for sharing the card Lex.

Weather getting colder here...but days are starting to get just a little longer!

Enjoy the day!

Gerry

Good Morning everyone!

A chilly morning. Not as cold as at Draclvr but still below freezing with -5 Celsius. Some snow, some ice and some sunshine.
Fireworks weren't too bad and now they have stopped. All in all a decent start of the new year.



Nice card Lex


Happy first Thursday GameBoomers

Good morning Fogfighter, Gerry, oldbroad, hagatha, Orion and all who follow. A chilly morning here too Fogfighter and thank goodness not as cold as Draclvr either. Enjoyed the brisk air on my walk this morning and now drinking my first cup of Gerry's WADDB and enjoying my music.

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Trivia at CVI tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good Thursday morning! I have a guy coming to look at my range later this morning, so need to get all my cast iron pans out of it. Just have time for a quick cup of WADDB. The thermostat seems to be out of whack and I can't regulate any temps. Tried fixing it in the settings, but no luck. Luckily this local appliance store services everything they sell. It's why I always buy from them rather than Lowes or Home Depot.

The second half of bowling starts tonight. We ended up in 2nd place the first half which is really good for us!

Good morning!

I have to run into town to the bank, but otherwise, it's another day of leisure for me. If it stops raining I'll go for a walk.

Good morning everyone!

Or good night if appropriate.

Emergency rations available in the break room for any early birds.

Over here -7 Celsius. But the days are getting longer again.

Happy Friday GameBoomers.

Good Morning Fogfighter, connie, soot, hagatha, Draclvr and everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew awaits!

Draclvr I hope it is an easy fix for your oven. Good Luck with the 2nd round of bowling! Fogfighter appreciate the emergency rations... -7 Celsius is cold...hope you don't have to go out if its icy too. Hagatha hope it stopped raining and you got to walk.

Have a great first 2025 Friday everyone!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Chilly start to the morning. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good Friday morning Gerry, Fogfighter, hagatha, Draclvr, connie and all in the hunt for WADDB and a snack. Did you get a walk in hagatha and Gerry? How did the second half of your bowling league kick off Draclvr? Stay warm Fogfighter...those are chilly temperatures! Did trivia night at CVI crown you as the reigning genius connie?

Have a wonderful Friday everyone

Good morning everyone,

I'm off to Pilates this morning, but having a really hard time getting motivated today.

I didn't get my walk in yesterday. At 11:30 I got a text reminding me of a dental appointment at 1:00. I had forgotten! That took up most of the afternoon. Perhaps to day I'll have time for a walk, weather permitting.

Good Friday morning! Sun... there is sun! Unfortunately, it won't last long. We are preparing for a major winter storm with potentials for a lot of ice and snow followed by bitter cold. It's supposed to start late Saturday night.

I've heard the stores are just stupid with crowds, but I need to make a run in town to get some cat food from the vet and a couple of things from the grocery store.

Hello all,

A rare event will be taking place tonight and tomorrow night

Friday night about an hour after sunset Venus and a crescent moon will be very close to one another. It will be quite the sight about 30+ degrees above the horizon. Venus will be the very bright looking star followed by the moon and Saturn further to the east. Tomorrow night the moon sits next to Saturn. Use binoculars preferably on a stand if you have one but neither are needed to see the event. Binoculars depending on their magnification you'll be able to see craters on the moon. Saturn gets eclipsed by the moon but it is a daytime event on the 4th
