New Year’s Eve is my favorite holiday celebration; the end of a chapter and the start of the next one. It is the time to get over mistakes, mishaps, or misfortune that might have littered the past year, and plan for a positive future, with fresh energy and new goals. On December 31, 2020…

Hi Karen, Hi Jan,
Karen, I did not think of the Spanish flu when the Pandemic started but I did think of the Bubonic Plague that hit Europe and Asia in the mid-1300 and many people died. It was horrible and they had no internet as you have pointed out.
Jan, thank you for hosting Karen today.
Wishing you both a lovely day.

Karen made a great point about the Spanish flu and the limited means they had of dealing with it. We are lucky to have all the technology of today to help us through hard times. Thank you for stopping by, Pat!
