I think it’s safe to say we are all happy the world didn’t end in 2012 and we are finally able to welcome 2013! It feels like this year is promising better things than the previous year, but then again isn’t that the only way we should look at it? Ronn and I spent a lovely New Year’s Eve at the Playboy mansion ringing in the new year as only the Playboy mansion can with old and new friends like actor, Bud Cort known for his role as Harold in the movie, “Harold and Maude.”

It was nice to see Playmate Hope Marie Carlton, who was Miss July 1985. Hope and I were back to back Playmates in the same year and I haven’t seen her in many years. Known for the Andy Sidaris movies, including the one Ronn did entitled, “Hard Ticket To Hawaii, Hope now teaches power yoga in Colorado five days a week and her killer body shows it! ” Since Hef decided to get married yesterday underneath this beautiful archway of flowers, we thought we’d take a photo under the arch as a momento.

Ronn has so many interesting projects on the horizon starting with the new Player CD that will be released in February. I am so excited about that and I believe you will understand what I mean soon. So as a celebration we will have a Devronn contest to win an autographed CD of Player’s “Too Many Reasons” to a lucky DevRonn subscriber. I will be emailing subscribers with details of what is required to win soon. But you must subscribe to this blog to be eligible to win!

We hope you had a wonderful New Year’s eve and that all your goals for the new year are prosperous and joyful. I will continue to update you on what’s coming up in this exciting new year. Welcome 2013!

Holiday Cheer

It’s Hard to believe another year is almost gone huh? Seems this year flew by faster than the speed of light. Nevertheless, we hope you all had some great holiday cheer with your family and friends. Ours was spent in Lake Arrowhead with Creason, Calee and Creason’s boyfriend. We were lucky to have some snow, enough for them to go sleighing and make up a snowman. It was just the way I wanted it this holiday, spent quietly with just family. Since this year was jammed with a lot of change for us and a lot of travel, it was nice to just relax. I wasn’t in the mood to throw any parties like I usually do and I just didn’t have the energy to get into doing a tree and all the shopping. We went to only a few parties. Our holiday cheer was knowing that the ones closest to us were near and dear and that we had their love and support.

What Kind of Holiday Cheer did you have?

What I do love about this time of the year is how everyone else celebrates. Seems each and every family has certain traditions and different ways of celebrating. What”s yours? Did your holiday cheer include a certain type of food or unique ritual? Please share it with us. I use to love to go to midnight mass, as I was raised Catholic, but over the years that changed and I just couldn’t stay up that late anymore. Do you open presents on Christmas eve or Christmas morning with your family? Is there a certain kind of drink that is traditional besides eggnog? Personally, I love eggnog cappuccinos now! Whatever your traditions are with holiday cheer, we hope this holiday was one of the most memorable ones ever.

Summing Up The Year With Holiday Cheer!

Looking back at 2012, it’s a year I know we won’t forget for so many reasons. What are the things you’ll remember most? I know for me just the fact that we were in 2012 was so surreal. I mean 2012 seemed so futuristic. Maybe it’s because I was born in the 60s and it felt like yesterday was 1986, but 2012 will always remain a turning point for us. It was the year of change. Creason graduated from high school, Ronn quit B&B, we survived an 8 car accident and Obama got re-elected. Our holiday cheer consisted of a small elite group of friends singing Christmas carols and eating the traditional turkey, stuffing and cranberries. Many of us thought the world would end on 12/21/12 and instead we look forward to a new beginning in 2013 with anticipation and dreams of a brighter future , one of hope, peace and love. I for one am excited about 2013 and since it’s just around the corner now will say with great holiday cheer, Happy New Year!!
