A Thought For The Old Year

“Happy New Year!” They all want to say,
With little regard for what’s slipping away,
A year of fond hopes and bright dreams is now gone,
And we only have thoughts of the new ones to dawn.

Take just a moment to think of the past,
The days now gone by that made memories last.
We had all the birthdays. We ate all the cake.
We had great good times and now, goodness sake,

They want to forget it with hardly a nod,
A whole year forgotten. I think that it’s odd.
One day, in our dotage, we’ll all reminisce,
On those “Good Old Days” we’re so willing to miss.

A thought for the old year seems timely tonight,
Its lengthening shadow drifts slowly from sight.
The old year departs with a staggering tread,
As we watch a new year toddle in, in its stead.

It will sleep with the others in a long endless pile,
But I’d like to point out that it went out with style.
There isn’t a doubt that it’s one for the books,
But it’s clearly not one we’d have chosen for looks.

Adding my family's wishes for a safe and prosperous New Year to the gang at Amy's Place.

We'll be babysitting Logan tonight while our young-uns host a housewarming party in their new house.

Jim Beam told me he would be dropping in late tonight and he's bringing Bailey with him. Might be worth staying up late.

Thanks so much, Dave. Happy New Year to you as well.

"Standing at the portal
Of the opening year,
Words of comfort meet us,
Hushing every fear."

Good afternoon, Jen.



Happy New Year's Eve, Jen.
I'm not sure which team I would be rooting for but
a drink made with peach schnapps sounds wonderful.

[JustAmy]

Peach Smash Recipe

2 ripe peaches, unpeeled, pitted, and cut into chunks
1 can frozen pineapple concentrate
3/4 cup light rum

In a blender combine peaches, pineapple concentrate and rum. Fill the blender with chopped ice and blend the drink until it is well mixed. Serve immediately.
