A Thought to Close the Year


Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. It comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

I think I've seen every movie John Wayne has starred in but did not know he was so prolific. The quote is fantastic and perfectly compliments the photo and vice versa.

This is one of my favorite blogs for stunning photos and quotes. Have a blessed, prosperous, joyous and healthy New Years!

Beautiful sunset and accompanying quote. Ahh, for the "fresh start."

I suppose that is another reason the icon for a new year is the baby, but the old man should does have some stories and I sure he is wise.

Great quotes. Love the header picture.

This photo took my breath away when it came in! Wish I could take one like that! How funny that your quote is by John Wayne! I'm assuming it's the famous actor and not a different one.

Hi Judy and Miss Cindi Lou,
Madi and I wish you both a very Happy New Year too. What a beautiful quote from the Duke.
My hubby and I are members of a Western Movie Preservation Society here in Raleigh. We meet the 3rd Thursday of each month to watch westerns.
As a matter of fact Madi's itty bitty kitty tv does have birds on it. I failed to mention that her Sis also has a very cute Quaker Parrot named Taz. There are several pictures of Taz on the tv too.
We hope you have a good evening and there are no loud noises to scare you. We anticipate some next door (3 teenagers there). Mom and Dad will be home so I'll be fine.
Madi and Mom

I would never have thought the Duke to be so poetic! A great photo as well as a very interesting header - I love the simplicity!

Happy New Year to you and your family.

We have travelled from 2009 and 2010. There are gains and lost, but it is great to know everybody in the blogosphere.

Happy New year, and Bon voyage.
