Has the New Year ever been so welcome?
We can’t wait for the next decade, for 2021, for surely, surely, the world’s fortunes will be better, right?

If you can giggle your way past 2020, you rock! Well done!
For 2021: Soon you will master the art of smiling under a five-fold mask.
Very creative and funny, great idea! We laughed at all of the “fortunes”.
Here’s another one for you.”Drink wine. It isn’t good to keep things bottled up.”
Gloria , you put the smile on my face , you turn on the lights in my soul , you give me the hope .Many thanks !

TY Jolanta for the poetry. As Mark Twain wrote, “I can live for a month on a compliment,” although in my case your kind words are bolstered by fruitcake, stollen squares, Raspberry Bouche Noel…
Very clever! Laughed out loud at the church one.
Since you liked that one, here’s another: “Man who sit on tack get the point”
Thanks for the great read on this last Sunday of 2020. The fortunes were/are brilliant. Love the weekly blog as well, you keep us on our toes, new adventures await, at some time. Thank you! Be safe, stay healthy and no need to drink bad wine or eat mediocre food. Keep up the good work. Hugs from the island!
I see wine in your future.
So well done guys………what a great and humorous way to end a crazy year that none of us will ever forget. Thank you for doing this and for all the work you both have done with this blog every week over all these years! Looking forward to 2021 and a return to some form of normalcy – Pat & Dallas
Thanks for your encouragement over the years.
This year, desperate times required desperate measures!
A great end to the year that wasn’t.
Always a gift to start the New Year with a smile and words of wisdom from seniors, none better.
Hopefully we can move forward and will be able to travel this year,
most important is to retain our health and longevity.
Great job on the blog with stories and photography. 👍👍
Thanks for sharing, made every Sunday like it’s own Fortune Cookie, a gift to us all.

Ahh, TY. For you and Deb in the chill of White Fox: “Hearty laughter is a good way to jog internally without having to go outdoors.”
Brilliantly creative fun
Thank you!
“Confounding” fun might be the word Magellan would use…
Yes! I really enjoyed that too. Saw myself in many of the fortunes! Hopefully 2021 is better. Happy New Year to you both !
Me too; my fave changes by the moment; at this instant it’s the Dijon-vu one.
THANKS!!!
We needed that, I’m still smiling and going to read thru it many more times!
Yeah, we’re still giggling after working on this for a few weeks.
