Judy's Entry, Saturday Jan 1, 2011 - New York, USA:
Got excited when I realized today is 1/1/11... but of course it was the same 100 years ago!  Was planning a big dinner New Year's Day, but brother Jim and family had their flight cancelled because of the blizzard early in the week, so it was just me, my mother, my son and his fiancee.  They announced that they are starting to plan for a wedding in August!  We fixed red snapper with fresh tomatoes for dinner and it was very good.  Before dinner we tried working on a jigsaw puzzle Nan got for Christmas, but it was too hard, so after dinner we played Cranium Turbo edition.  Lots of fun and laughs.
