Happy New Years

We spent some time this morning working in the condo washing towels, putting some of the new stuff away. Called Lorraine and arranged for a visit and found out that the other phones do not work in the condo. Investigated and found the Ooma was hooked up wrong. When it was hooked up right, the Scout device didn't work. I found the Scout output needs to be put on a second set of wires in the telephone cable, a jobe for a splitter. Looked at them in Radio Shack but I rejected a $10 splitter. Bought some parts in Sears but still wasn't happy. Went to Walmart and bought some junction boxes and made the splitter I needed. It worked but the light wouldn't come on in the Scout device. Took apart outlets in the house to trace the wiring and then found that the brightness was turned down. Turned it up and the light was working all along!!!!
Left at 7 for the party. Ordered a wine at a table in the lobby then went to the horsdouevres. We had scallops, duck, cheese, fruit, beef on a skewer, etc. This was a meal itself. We had another wine then they brought out lobster followed by strawberry sorbet. We then had a salad of cucumbers, tomatillo, pecans and lots of stuff. Next course was the desert of chocolate covered raspberry mousse. We ended the evening with a champagne toast at midnight. I was tired and had too much to drink. After our second glass of wine we ordered a bottle of Ravenswood Zin but had to sub Clove Zin which was $36 but they gave it to us at the $27 price. We sat with Hort and heidi from MA, Tony and Siggy from Germany and Hurda and ??? from Canada.
