You too, TrE!
Thank you!
Fun quotes. Happy New Year, Mitch
Thanks, John!
Gin in the cat dish…oh my. And to be clear, Shakespear was trying to get his dog, Spot, away from the canapes during the party. It could also be Data from Star Trek talking to his cat.
Thanks for the clarification, Rebecca. ;>)
Happy New Year to you and yours, Mitch!
(P.S. – Had to steal that Ann Lamott quote.)
Thanks, Steve!
Re. the quote: Aha, so you got it from here! I saw it on your Fb page and assumed you’d happened on it independently.
Well FWIW, Mitch, I have read most of her books.
Which ones do you recommend, Nony?
Wise words by wise people. Hope you have a healthy and happy new year 🙂
Thank you, Ben!
Very welcome 🙂
Happy New Year to you and yours, Mitch.

You’re welcome, Mitch.
I lost it over Jesus drinking gin out of the cat dish! 🤣
Happy New Year! 🎆🎇🎉🎊🍾🥂
Thank you, Vic!
Happy New Year, Mitch! May 2023 be full of blessing.
Thank you, Dora, and likewise, my friend!
Thank you for the giggles, the truths, the Scriptures! All very timely. Happy New Year, Mitch!!! I pray you and your family will have a joy-filled, healthy and blessed year ahead!
Thank you, Dori, praying the same for you and yours!
Happy New Year to you and all your lovely family.

Hi Mitch, I went to my dashboard and can’t figure out why you were blocked, so I messed with it for a while and, hopefully, regardless of the fact that I don’t know what I’m doing, it is fixed. Please try again and let me know!
Thank YOU! 😊 Dori 🙂

Hi Dori. Well, 2 out of 3 ain’t bad: I clicked on your ‘Celebrate His Love’ link above and also on the one in the email notification I received, and both took me right to your blog site. But when I clicked on your profile image above (the green square) and then on the link at your Gravatar page I received the ‘access denied’ message.
I went in and updated my Gravatar, so I’m hoping that will fix that. However, it is still showing the green square, not sure why. Totally puzzled! 🤷🏼♀️
Well…the green square has been replaced by your actual profile picture, but unfortunately the link on your Gravatar page still says “access denied.” And you name (in the comment above) is back to Anonymous.
I’m puzzled… I have no clue why it’s doing that. 🤷🏼♀️ Any thoughts on what else Ican try?
Unfortunately, no, Dori. I usually try googling something like “how can I fix/do such-and-such in WordPress,” and if that doesn’t work resort to trial-and-error.
Happy New Year to you, too, friend.
I love the Anne Lamott quote! She is the best, isn’t she?
Yep. And thanks, Russell!
Happy New Year, Mitch!
Thank you, Aaysid!
Happy New Year 2023! 😎🎉🥳

Thanks, Leenda!
Hi!! Good to see you!!
Uhhhm… 4538!
Subtract 2023 – 13
that’s 2010 which makes me type 4535
Happy New Year Mitch! Thanks for the smiles. Winston Churchill was a witty guy. 🙂 I like the one where a woman told him that if he was her husband she would give him poison to drink. He replied, “and if I was your husband I would drink it!”
Let’s see, which advice should I heed? Guess I’ll just finish this glass of wine and go to bed early. A blessed new year to you, Mitch.
You too, Robert!
Pure Panda-monium. Happy new year, Mitch!
You too, Jon!

Happy New Mitch
;>) And a Happy New Desiree to you!
This is terrific- I laughed, smiled and nodded. Thank you. Happy New Year, Mitch.
Thank you, Jennie.
You’re welcome, Mitch.
Winston Churchill-what a hoot! Happy New Year to you and your family, Mitch.
Thank you, Nancy!
Happy New Year and remember…wine is the nectar of the gods, but too much will give you a devil of a headache.
