Happy New Year everybody! Once again I am featuring the photograph of my mother Mary (on the left) and her cousin Marie (on the right), taken at Marie and her husband Ed's house on New Year's Eve in Evergreen Park, Illinois many years ago. As you can tell from the photo, Marie was quite the live wire. When Marie and her brother Junior were young children, their grandmother used to refer to them as "devils on wheels." I don't know what devils on wheels are, but it definitely sounds lively. My mother and her cousin Marie were very close, and sadly, Marie passed away from cancer at a fairly young age, not too many years after this photograph was taken. The moral, of course, is to enjoy life, your family, and your friends, since none of us knows what the future will bring. In other words, make it your business to enjoy 2016, not to mention all the years after.
