Here we are, 2011. I am thinking about New Year resolutions. I rarely make real resolutions. Do you? What kind of resolutions do you make? I am curious as to how seriously people take their resolutions. Saying you are going to eat better or exercise more seems to have become a bit of a joke. People don't seem to follow through. Have you ever kept a resolution for a whole year?
New Years Eve for me was full of my favorite things; family, food and card playing! I love playing cards and learned a new game called “la poule“ which involved standing on your chair and making chicken noises when you had the right combination of cards. More cards were played on January 1st. A good start to the year.
I got spoiled for Christmas. I just finished trying out my new Donkey Kong game for the Wii. The save points seem a bit far apart for my liking but it is fun so far. I have been wanting to try Apple TV for a long time and got it for Christmas. We were in Québec until last night so I had to wait to try it. I find the picture quality great but the wait to load Netflix content long. I suppose this is because it is impossible to get high speed internet with any real speed where I live.
As for the pictures, the first one is the view out my front window at the moment. It surprises me that on January 3rd there is still no ice on the Northumberland Strait. I like this. The view is not as interesting when it ices over. The second picture is one I took at Véro's mom's place in Pointe-aux-Outardes. We went for a walk and a neighbor had these figures in his yard. I really liked them and thought I'd share. Happy New Year to you all!
