~ T. S. Eliot

(....hope we didn't leave anyone out....)
To family, friends known and friends yet to know, to all our followers from across the globe:
Best wishes for a safe, healthy and prosperous New Year.
Thanks for keeping in touch and making our little blog such a great success!
...and a final note from the American author William Ward......
“Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given us
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
The highest and the best!
We have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!”
Here's to more adventures yet to unfold:
