A Happy New Year
"What shall I wish thee?
Treasures of earth?
Songs in the springtime,
Pleasure and mirth?
Flowers on thy pathway,
Skies ever clear?
Would this ensure thee
A Happy New Year?
What shall I wish thee?
What can be found
Bringing thee sunshine
All the year round?
Lasting and dear,
That shall ensure thee
A Happy New Year?
Faith that increaseth,
Walking in light;
Hope that aboundeth,
Happy and bright;
Love that is perfect,
Casting out fear;
These shall insure thee
A Happy New Year."

Yes, that is Roast Beef in a can. Sorry it wasn't clear. You can use any canned meat or even cook up some hamburger and use that too.
That's just beautiful! Wishing you a wonderfully blessed New Year, too!
Come on out of the cold and take a trip to the beach with me! We went Monday, and you might enjoy the pics!
You blog is lovely. Congratulations on your new grandbaby!!
