Welcome in the New Year

[Ann]

Welcome in the New Year
as you would a friend;
one who brings twelve shining gifts
to last until year's end.

Harmony with others,
faith in each new day;
all the kindness you can spare,
goodwill in words you say.

Compassion for earth's creatures,
and hope for those in need;
make peace with all of nature,
make tolerance your creed.

Thoughtfulness and sharing,
love spread far and near;
a thankfulness for living
to end a perfect year.
♥

Our world would be a better place if we all tried to live up to these sentiments, Happy New Year everyone!

Happy New Year to all of you and may it be blessed with firstly health, then happiness and fortune. And then anything else you may desire from belief to wine to food and sex. Got to cover all the bases, haven't we......

[missprim]

Ok Ann but I just want to say he did conduct himself very well :-)

[Ann]

O sorry to hear "he" was on his best behaviour!

[Ann]

Didn't realise he had his own channel!

Thanks for that link Ann. Isn't he lovely?

[nungate]

Nice poem Ann. I see you and Miss Prim are still at it, both of you should really "conduct" yourselves better ;)

[Ann]

You are only jealous nun! ;)

[tonyav]

How long was his batten ?.

[Ann]

oooh naughty tonyav!

[tonyav]

Lol.

[nungate]

Not really, too busy drooling over Alex O'Loughlin on Sky 2 in Hawaii 5-0
to be jealous,and I got the box set at Christmas and season 2 starts tonight, followed by NCIS Los Angeles, and then there's Sherlock on BBC colour me happy! I like Andre's music and all that stuff but I don't necessarily fancy him, I find him entertaining!

[Mamyalynne]

Did you two sneak into the west wing while I was on the roof?? I doubt he will ever revisit now!!

[nungate]

Wasn't me mama - the fickle finger is pointing directly at Ann and Miss Prim
I've never been in the west wing, only as far as the library, those chairs so comfy....................

[Ann]

No mamya - missprim and I tried to scale the turret wall of the west wing but due to our age and my dodgy knees we were unable to do so but your VIP guest Andre sent you a message to say thanks for the party - same time, same place next year!
For puzzled ABers we would like to explain that us oldies had a fantastic "party" at the Mad Over 50s Club at mamyalynnes last night - it kept us highly amused until past midnight! Read all about it here:
