Views of the Neighborhood – Happy New Year

December 31, 2023 · by John W. Howell · in Views of the Neighborhood · 102 Comments

With a few short hours from wrapping up 2023, we at our house wish you a Happy and Prosperous New Year. I think Twiggy says it best. (I have to wonder how she learned to operate the printer)
