Show Life With Lynne Happy New Year! The first resolution I made this year1 was to get my column done earlier in the week, but here I am. doing it on the very day that its supposed to go- in the paper.. Hasn't it all been loads of fun! I can hardly settle down to the regular routine now after all the excitement.. It seems bo funny that weeks and months of preparation prep-aration have: gone into making the holidays, so bright end gay tnd then it's? all over in just a few short days.. I know I just couldn't believe that Christmas, was here, and now it's gone and wev'e stepped into ar new year. At a real fun party I know about the hostess had fixed resolutions for her guests on little cards by their plates,, part of them in writing and part-of j them an object scotch taped on j the card, and the guests had to figure out what they meant. iThis is how they were: I Resolve : Not to flip my lid. To be on the ball. To feed my husband by the teaspoon before someone does it by the tablespoon. . To be sweet as a piece of candy. To be full of spice. To keep a sparke in my eyes. (sequins). v Another favor at a cute party was a little purse calendar with all the important dates of that group marked on it. A man named Ralph Barney gave a tolk in our Sunday night meeting before Christmas and offered a challenge to all the young people to find someone some-one who was lonely and might not otherwise be remembered and to spend some time with them and do something nice for them. I know a lot of kids who took it to heart and tried to do something that would be helpful. It was fun to get Christmas letters from pen pals on the opposite sides of the world. I found out how a 15 year old girl in Hawaii and a 17 year old boy in ! Germany spend their Christmas. The boy in Germany writes me part in English so he'll learn his English and I'll learn my German. I have to go to Dad and have him translate it for me, but I'll learn! I'm going to close with a verse on a Christmas card I received from my Sunday School teacher Pres. Hugh Pinnock: 'Another year has merged with history, presenting us with new opportunities to learn, to live, to laugh, and to labor in 1958. Kay new friends 'find their . way to your door and old friends become more dear is my continued con-tinued wish for you." , Bye now, Lynne |
