Hello from Las Vegas!

It's New Year's Eve here in Las Vegas.
I always enjoy Times Square party, NY.
Our time is 3 hours behind N.Y. the Eastern Time.
So we can watch both Times Square party,
NY and the Strip party here.
We have 24 degrees F outside now.
It's cloudy and we have some snowflakes outside.
*According to the weatherman,
we have 7 min. fireworks on the Strip.
(The Strips will be closed: 6:00 p.m.-6:00a.m.)
My private chef is enjoy cooking ham and beans now.
I will make soba later.
We will enjoy NCAA college football games this afternoon.
The Rose Bowl, Pasadena, Calif.
Florida St.(13-0) vs. Oregon (12-1) for the New Year.
Thank you for coming to my pages.
Wishing you the happiest holiday.
