HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Note: Because January is about as slow as it gets in terms of scheduled walks and activities,
there will only be one “This & That” this month.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne.
Robert Burns.
