“May God’s blessings come to you a thousand fold;
may the love in your heart never get old;
and may you find treasures more precious than gold.
Have a blessed and Happy New Year to you and your family!”
may the love in your heart never get old;
and may you find treasures more precious than gold.
Have a blessed and Happy New Year to you and your family!”
Also, a clown to put some laughter and cheer in our hearts before we start a new page and a new chapter in our Book of Life. May each day of the New Year bring happiness, good cheer and sweet surprises to you and all your dear ones.

We have quite a few hours to go, since we are one of the last to welcome in the new year. But that also means we get to celebrate longer, LOL.

ReplyDeleteGrace, it is a pineapple flower bud. The flowers have not appeared yet. They are many and purple in colour. I'll be updating with new pictures later. It takes some time for the flower to bloom. Thank you very much for your warm wishes.
ReplyDeleteAyie, you are definitely not late! Good wishes are always welcomed, all through the year. Thank you very much for your warm wishes and nice gesture.
