New Year's Eve in the Desert

The traditional New Year's Eve Party is dinner, drinks, music, dancing, noise makers, and revelry. Our New Year's Eve was much different here in the desert.

A neighbor in the RV Park here in Tucson invited Carole and I to their place for New Year's Eve. There were only seven or eight of us there, but it was one of the nicest New Year's Eve I can remember. We all sat outside in the cool evening desert air around a roaring campfire.

One of the men had brought along his guitar and we passed the evening singing Christmas carols, hymns, and a few other songs we could remember. It was a very pleasant evening, but being a get together of old retired people, we put out the campfire early and retired to our own units where we watched the ball fall in New York's Times Square on TV . . . before falling asleep at 11 o'clock desert time.

And that was New Year's Eve in the desert.
