Memories

A friend made a comment concerning Dorito's the other day and so I shared a great memory and Meg of course replied - BLOG IT....

Growing up in the Beard household a tradition formed between Angie and me which we cherised and celebrated every year on New Year's Eve for as long as I can remember. Each year we would collect our Pepsi or Dr. Pepper but mostly Pepsi and our bag of Dorito's and plant ourselves in front of the television to watch Dick Clark and to see the ball drop in Times Square.

It was a time honored tradition which I am certain we will ensure gets passed along to Noah, yes we let Larry Del join in the fun as he came along though I think the bond was more for Angie and me.

So if this New Year's Eve you are at home with your family and you are trying to decide what you should do - well think of the Beard Sister's and go on down to your local store. Grab you a big bag of Dorito's and some Pepsi or soda of your choice and plant yourself with a loved one in front of the television and watch the ball drop in Time's Square. When you are doing so don't be surprised if you don't get a tiny chill and feel as though some of the Dorito's are disappearing for it could be the Beard Sister's taking a few from you....

So don't wait till the last minute - you have 32 days to get stocked up!!
