January

Just as all beginnings do, A new year makes its big debut Necessitating fuss and noise Until the old year it destroys. Awaiting, though, a nice clean slate Reflected in a brand-new date – Your future yours to help create. January 3, 2019

Another winner here, Ilene! I assume you placed it in the contest and if so I predict it will be a top winner. Glad you liked Sgt Schmo the army chef and thankfully I don't have to explain to you what SOS is!. Frankly I love the stuff and had my share during my AF time and I have a great recipe that I concoct now and then. Hope your New Year is going well - Bob
