new year's eve
at the groendyke home
is simple.
never out to late night parties,
getting gussied up to welcome
in the new year.
we prefer
home.
cozy.
rested...
maybe a party hat or two.
this year
mom and dad
planned to celebrate
with grandma garff
on good ol' devonshire circle.
an invitation was extended
and we gladly accepted.
the marriott
had prepared mini reuben, tuna,
and egg salad sandwiches
cheese and crackers
fruit and veggie platters
wonderful desserts
so it took us two trips
to deliver the goods,
it was well worth it.
grandma's home
looked festive.
we speak a bit louder
and the visits
filled with laughter.
the word of the year
METANIA
meaning change.
chelle issued a challenge
via phone
"come unto christ and be perfected in him"
dad poured the sparkling cider
and each took a turn toasting in the new year
HAPPY 2014
