...........and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to you Amy and to all you here at Amy’s Place!! Doubt if our household will see in the new. I am fixing breakfast for company in the AM. We live about 5 minutes from the start of the Rose Parade and usually watch the Stealth Bomber go over head!! SO we party in the AM~!

[little jeremiah]

Thank you, I will. I have some favorite poems I’ll look up.

There used to be a place for Freeper written poems. Is that still happening?

[pollywog]

Well for sure Amy, I tain't the skinny one!..ah... Iknow, I know. I am off fixing treats for all of you!

Happy New Year to all and their families, we went out with our little one to a pre-New Years Dinner and everything was fine, stopped by Grandpa and Grandma’s and then she started running a fever: spiked to a 102!!!!! Gave her a little Children’s Motrin and fever is going down, she is sleeping soundly. My little Angel, Mama is feeling down now. Well, hope the might is smooth sailing./Just Asking - seoul62......

Gorgeous, Meg! Happy New Year to you, too!

LOL Billie dressed me up—can you teach me to dance?!

We don’t even have to show up evey other license renewal. Every 8 years we go in for a new photo and eye test and $47 and we’re in like Flynn.

[JustAmy]

We would love for you to share poems ... either your own or others that you enjoy.

[JustAmy]

I’m not sure how late I will be here but will stay until time to start a new year. :)

[JustAmy]

Yummy ... thanks, Polly. That looks delicious.

[JustAmy]

Sure hope she is feeling okay in the AM. You better take something ... seems that a lot of us have been sick with colds this month.

Happy New Year to you and yours, Seoul.

Just had to go renew mine a couple months ago. Got the card in the mail—said to come in as early as possible cause they were backed up and to allow 6 weeks for new license to come in mail. I was there -30 mins and walked out with it in my grubby paw. Shaking head. They have no idea what’s going on.

Had to take a vision test, which I passed—barely. Had to go get glasses, but at least there aren’t any restrictions on my license so if I forget to wear them maybe I won’t get a ticket if I get pulled. :)

[JustAmy]

LOL

We should be able to find a better teacher than me.

[gardengirl]

My mind always wants to learn ballroom dancing.

My body does a reality check and vetoes that idea.

I. Can’t. Dance.

LOL

Auld Lang Syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!

Chorus.-For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne.
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

And surely ye'll be your pint stowp!
And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll tak a cup o'kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
For auld, &c.

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd mony a weary fit,
Sin' auld lang syne.
For auld, &c.

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn,
Frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne.
For auld, &c.

And there's a hand, my trusty fere!
And gie's a hand o' thine!
And we'll tak a right gude-willie waught,
For auld lang syne.

Robert Burns

My license cost $28.00 ... I think they will be good for five years. Mine will come in the mail ... I’m not sure how long it will take but I do have a temporary license. It expires the end of February.

I do have a restriction that I must wear glasses. I’ve had that on my license for ages.

Happy New Year to everyone at Amy’s!
