Thanks for reading our December 2020 issue. We hope you checked out some additional holiday articles from our previous December issues. Next month will be a new year and hopefully, the much-anticipated COVID-19 vaccines will be available to all of us soon.

Next month we’ll be talking about new beginnings and I will start the Twelve Months of Soup paring each soup with a suggested sandwich. We’ll also have some delicious Vegan and Vegetarian soup and sandwich options for 2021. Linda Cahill will share more popular recipes from Pampered Chef. Orlando Bartro and Jim O’Brien will be back with articles during the 2021 year and we hope to hear from Rachel Bovier and Patricia Petrusik.

Christian Joyce will start a new 2021 Playlist and we’ll start another year in pictures. We’ll have more book recommendations, suggested reading, book reviews, and quizzes.

We’ll be moving forward with Patreon and hope to have your support.

Have a safe and wonderful holiday season and wear your mask!

Be safe, be well; You are important, and you are loved.
