We should have known that Suzanne's arrival home gathering of the garbage can and to the amazement of Ben cleaning of her car would not bode well for the towers some of which collapsed leaving this mess to be cleaned up and resorted with these displaced pennies into the big histogram.

The next thing we knew, it was New Year's Eve. The Kramer brought the champagne and we added the hors d'oeuvres to Sarah's amusement as Suzanne tried on her scarf and let the fabric be admired. Next course came as the chili and peanut sauce got ready fro the chili (vegetarian, of course) to find some light and get warm enough to take it's place with the other foods as the presents waited for the appropriate moment and more food

seemed to appear so that we could admire the poster that Claire gave Sarah for Hannukah.

Suzanne continued to model scarves as did Sarah and then the Justs arrived and felt the scarves until Lizzie warmed the new year by trying one on.
