    Rosemary's Blessing:  

     

    Welcome to the New Year

    As you would a friend;

    One who brings twelve shining gifts

    To last until the year’s end.

    Harmony with others,

    Faith in each new day;

    All the kindness you can spare,

    Goodwill in words you say.

    Compassion for earth’s creatures,

    And hope for all in need;

    Make peace with all of nature,

    Makes tolerance your creed,

    Thoughtfulness and sharing,

    Love spread far and near;

    A thankfulness for living

    To end a perfect year.

    Juliet’s Luncheon Ladies will meet Friday, March 3 at 1:00 P.M. at Ocean Seafood and Grill.  For all who have not been there the food is very good and reasonable.  It is a BYOB.  I thought this would be a good choice because it will be Lent and some of us do not eat meat on Fridays during Lent.  Ocean is at 3829 W. Spring Creek Pkwy., Plano, behind Chic-Fil-A which is on Coit Rd. (Spring Creek and Coit).  Please let me know if you can join us.  They do have other choices besides seafood.   Ron & Marilyn Ackerman [rmackerman5@gmail.com]
