As the new year begins, I find myself grateful for the gift of friendship—especially yours. May this coming year meet you gently, bring moments that make you smile without trying, and wrap you in peace on both the loud days and the quiet ones. Here’s to fresh beginnings, steady hope, and knowing you’re never walking into a new year alone. Happy New Year-:)
"On the first day of this year, plant a promise to yourself and water it with daily effort." ~ Friend may you have joy peace health more than plenty for you and yours but enough to share with someone less fortunate than yourself.
“Another fresh new year is here… another year to live! To banish worry, doubt, and fear, to love and laugh and give!” — William Arthur Ward
2026, already?? Time is flying by! Boyd&I are well and appreciating a warm home this winter!! Ground is covered with snow. We have been in since Sunday, after church. When weather is bad we certainly stay inside. One of our very, very, old foundrys is closing its doors in March. Fed and clothed many a families! I hope this year will have many answers to your prayers!! Stay safe and God bless each of you!! Hugs Shirley
