New Year’s Special Edition: January 1, 2024
Happy New Year fellow Accomplice!!
Beloved Rodie made The Move to our new home much to our delight. Unfortunately, soon after, 2023 proved to be the year he Went Home to be with other Adored Fuzzy Accomplices.
Still, grateful just to have known him for 17-years.
2023 also brought some mighty fine Listening. Please enjoy what I found to be Topnotch Faves of the year.
And? May you find something to your liking!

Sweet Drake passed in 2023 as well. He was our pride and joy hereabouts, and was loved and loving until the end. He’s so very missed!
What will 2024 bring, I wonder? Who knows?!?
May y’all’s Year To Come be filled with love, laughter, and change that inspires! Y’all are very much appreciated and cherished.
B’bye to 2023
