Haha…I always have that problem whenever I make signs.

I like it better this way.

Happy new whatever is new to you!

Hope that’s not a sign for how the new year is going to work

And we’re off to a good start…….

Happy New Year. Worry about yourself and Dan first. Don’t worry about us.

Think BIG, Mandy!

Very enthusiastic! Good!

Happy New Year and stay healthy everyone!

I don’t know … you left room for you and Young You. That’s good. Happy New Year to all!

That’s okay…say, year, quietly…we don’t want the Fates hearing it’s a new year!

Remember dear sketch it first then ink

It’s the thought that counts. And that’s enough for now.

Happy New Year, one and all

Happy New ? to you to Amanda and to all your loyal fans. May we be lucky enough to see a turn in events in the coming months and end this new year with a much brighter one to come.

Happy and healthy New Year to you and yours!

Happy New Year to you and all you love!

There is an old tradition in the South, if you eat Hoppin’ Johns on New Year’s Day, you will have good luck in the coming year.

Hoppin’ Johns – rice, black eyed peas, collard greens, onions, celery, and bell peppers – and I always add mushrooms because… because I want to!

This year I decided to try cooking them in the crock pot, but the rice came out mushy. I hope that doesn’t mess up the good luck. And I hereby share all the good luck I accrue by eating this yummy (but mushy) food with all who need it!

It’s really easy to share intangibles, isn’t it? So enjoy your increased good luck, y’all!

I forgot the hamhock/ham/bacon/hog jowls! It isn’t Hoppin’ Johns without some form of pig meat! I used cubed ham and bacon this year. It’s still yummy.
