Although I’m not one for resolutions, something about a new year just gives me a feeling of optimism and expectation. A new beginning, perhaps? How about you? Anticipating good things for 2019?

Anyway, our photo was turned in and we sort of forgot about it. Well, guess what!?!? We were chosen!  I don't know about you, but this is totally an honor to me.  I f
