We decided that we would really love to be with friends for New Years, so we called Laura and Ryan Jensen...friends from seminary... to see if we could invite ourselves down for a visit. They agreed and we had a fantastic time. We bundled up on New Years Eve and went downtown to see what all the buzz about the Moon Pie over Mobile was all about. It wasn't amazing, but it did cause buzz for the city so that is good.
This is especially funny because I really don't like moon pies at all! Apparently they throw them from floats at Mardi Gras in Mobile.
That dot in the middle is the moon pie. I think it said 2009 when it hit midnight.
The Jensens in awe of the lit up moon pie.
On New Years Day we made a feast of fried shrimp and fried oyster po boys. I use the term "we" loosely as Ryan did almost all of the cooking. I'm not sure why I was even standing by the oven to be honest. He also made fried pickles and Laura made homemade cole slaw. It was all delicious!
Happy New Year to you all... a special hello to my family who are all in Sante Fe for an exciting celebration. Lots of love to Jenny and Elizabeth! Peace, Emily

Looks like fun! We missed you both in Santa Fe - what a terrific weekend!
Wow...Moon Pies. Brings back ski trip memories. So glad you had a good time in Mobile. Santa Fe was
wonderful. Can't wait for you to see
some of the photos. We really missed you, but had a wonderful time.
When I get time, I will do my usual
vacation letter with all the details.
Looking forward to the party this weekend in SA.
Love, Mom
