Default New Years 2013

Hi Everyone!!! Last night, Janice and I and approximately 33 other assorted Gillies, Ferns, Lattes and Sannibellians gathered at the Evans Prairie Country Club to welcome 2013. We had a wonderful menu, great food, good conversation and just a drink or two

A lot of new neighbors showed up and you all know how terrible I am with names so I'm not going to even try and caption the pictures.

We did have a short ceremony in which Andy & Wendy Andrews were inducted into the Order of the Gilly Garter. They can now officially be referred to as Sir John and Lady Wendy. They were both given certificates (suitable for framing) to commemorate the occasion. Sir John was knighted by the Lord High Mayor and given the ceremonial blade for display. Lady Wendy received her official Gilly Garter along with two additional medals for being such an outstanding assistant to the head of the Administrative Department (Andy) and for putting up with Andy.

After dinner, the remaining partiers retired to the patio to continue the celebration. Evans Prairie stayed open until midnight when the final 8 hardcore parties sang Auld Lange Sine and bid each other good night.

I think it's safe to say that a good time was had by all! Enjoy the pics!!!

PS - For some reason the pics aren't uploading. I'll get them up as soon as the website lets me!!
