Thanks and ditto, hope we all have a good year! I’m spending the night with some close friends. Looking forward to it! I’ll be on an island, no cars, one bar and all my good friends. It doesn’t get better! We’re doing a pot luck dinner together. About 25 of us, a good bond fire, the bar itself to warm our bodies and minds. I’m bringing my raspberry infused vodka and lemonade to mix it with. Maybe have a martini or two too! I’m bringing a cheese ball, and a large corned beef sub. Spaghetti will be the main dish (A huge vat of it!). And the MSU game is on! My alma mater! Go Green! I love these pot lucks! Although this one is different. My cottage is winterized so I have to get by without water for a night. I’ll bring my own, and use the river to flush the toilet. I’m bringing 2 gallons of RV anti-freeze to rewinterize. I won’t be back there till April! My dog is going to love it! Here;s a photo of the main road on the island in winter. With my dog way ahead of me of course!
The tracks in the snow are from golf carts with chains and ATV vehicles, no cars there.
This is my place.

Here is Auld Lang syne,old and new versions to memorize and sing. Brady
Traditional Song
Auld Lang Syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o’ 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!
We twa hae run about the braes,
And pu’d the gowans fine,
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary foot
Sin’ auld lang syne.
We twa hae paidl’t in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
Sin’ auld lang syne.
And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere,
And gie’s a hand o’ thine,
And we’ll tak a right guid willie-waught
For auld lang syne!
And surely ye’ll be your pint’ stoup,
And surely I’ll be mine!
And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet
For auld lang syne!
Modern English Translation
Should old acquaintances be forgotten,
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintances be forgotten,
And days of long ago!
Chorus:
For times gone by, my dear
For times gone by,
We will take a cup of kindness yet
For times gone by.
We two have run about the hillsides
And pulled the daisies fine,
But we have wandered many a weary foot
For times gone by.
We two have paddled (waded) in the stream
From noon until dinner time,
But seas between us broad have roared
Since times gone by.
And there is a hand, my trusty friend,
And give us a hand of yours,
And we will take a goodwill drink (of ale)
For times gone by!
And surely you will pay for your pint,
And surely I will pay for mine!
And we will take a cup of kindness yet
For times gone by!
Happy new year to everyone !
