Good-bye 2007.....hello 2008!The brat pack (Jacque, Rob, Christine, and Matt) joined in the fun and rang in the New Year 2008 together. We braved the rain and ventured into the night at 10pm just in time to make it for some Ukelele playing, salsa dancing, and fireworks fun at Tina and Thomas' house in Aci Catena. After a few wrong turns compliments of our friend, TomTom, we made it through their 2 security gates and into the garage festa.
We met people from Alaska, and Hawaii, listened to some live Hawaiian tunes, and danced the evening away amid underwater art, Kalua pig, champagne, cigars, and good chats with new friends. We were lucky and had two Hawaiian gentlemen with Ukeleles, they played and sang some great ones as we counted down to the new year......2008. There's nothing better than a live version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" to lighten the heart and warm the soul. 
Matt and Rob decided to use their height to play a practical joke on the hostess, Tina......not sure how they got those down! What's worse is that they got Jen in trouble too! Boys will be boys I suppose.
Chris and Matt bought Panerea for cheap! Well, at least we got a painting of Panerea for cheap. Thomas is a great artists and his garage is filled with underwater magic. His specialty is aquatic creations. We managed to grab one of his above the water splendors. Now we just have to find a wall large enough in our house to display it properly! Panerea is one of our favorite places in Sicily so it was quite magical to find such a great find.
The fireworks over here are amazing....feel like blowing something up? Wanna catch something on fire.....just light an Italian firework! Tina's car will never be the same.....but hey, it's New Years! The "kids" got to play with all kinds of fun fire, us ladies, we liked the sparklers!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
MAY 2008 BE BLESSED WITH LAUGHTER, LOVE,
AND GOOD TIMES FOR YOU ALL!
Cheers- Christymatt
