Congratulations on this superb winning entry, Jan! Personally, I never make any new year resolutions....not that I'm perfect lol :) but after all these years I have learned to live with my imperfections! ~ Sending you and your family best wishes for 2021, including peace, love and good health! Hugs // paul & co

Never said a truer word Jan, really agree with you. How's hubby these days? I had PSA blood test this week and good news it's down to 0.3 so that's me for another 6months, praise God indeed, Gordon
