Peaceful little New Years

Dave and I kept with tradition and rang in the new year together at our favourite lake

Dave had been there all week, and I drove up thursday afternoon to join him. I had to make sure I got there before dark so I could stop at the beach and check out the water

It was quite a bit warmer, and calmer than last year. 

There was no ice on the bay at all, and at the lake, I was able to walk right up to the water's edge as the waves rolled in

 Just like last year, we celebrated with Chinese food, a fire, wine and champagne. I definitely think this is going to become a standing tradition.
