Happy Chinese New Year 

Gong Hey Fat Choy

January 31st marks the beginning of Chinese New Year. This year rings in the Year of the Horse, but it's marked this time by considerable fire, according to feng shui experts. This could bring startling changes for the world, they say. Well... should be another interesting year!

Happy Birthday, Dr. King.

Who knew there was a national "Clean Off Your Desk Day"!?  So I did (clean off my desk, that is). Here are three things that I found...

1. A note from my niece that I had forgotten about (yes, a real handwritten note that came through the U.S. mail).

2. The password for my Nook.

3. A lovely Hershey Kiss still in the wrapper.

Life is good when you get a few welcome surprises!

Welcome to Finer Things for Us... 2014!! We are looking forward to fine things in the new year!
