Happy New Year! I don't have New Year's picture for you because we don't do anything special on New Year's Eve. We've never gone to Times Square in New York, though both of us lived in New York for many years. It's not a part of the city to which I was ever drawn.

THERE’S NO REVENGE THAT BEATS GETTING RICH – Marilyn Armstrong
FOWC with Fandango — Revenge Revenge is giving you cousin's kids an ant farm for Christmas. Or maybe one of those big drums that will beat automatically when you turn a handle.

Just a … Continue reading THERE’S NO REVENGE THAT BEATS GETTING RICH – Marilyn Armstrong
MY FAVORITES CARTOONS OF 2018 – Marilyn Armstrong

The Guide Dog Foundation For The Blind expanded in 2003 to include America’s VetDogs. … Continue reading SERVICE DOGS FOR VETS – BY ELLIN CURLEY
CLUTCHING AT FREEDOM – Marilyn Armstrong

I will keep using the old one until it simply won't work anymore ... or someone gently tells me that I really need a new one. "Oh," I say, "But I just bought this one." "You … Continue reading CLUTCHING AT FREEDOM – Marilyn Armstrong
HOLY MOLY – THE YEAR IS ENDING! Marilyn Armstrong

We came home in the snow ... and we haven't seen anything but a few flurries since. I twirled around twice and it was Thanksgiving, then Christmas, … Continue reading HOLY MOLY – THE YEAR IS ENDING!
