'Auld Lang Syne'

"Auld Lang Syne" (Scots pronunciation: [ˈɔːl(d) lɑŋˈsəin]: note "s" rather than "z")^[1] is a Scots poem written by Robert Burns in 1788^[2][3] and set to the tune of a traditional folk song (Roud # 6294). It is well known in many countries, especially in the English-speaking world, its traditional use being to celebrate the start of the New Year at the stroke of midnight. By extension, it is also sung at funerals, graduations and as a farewell or ending to other occasions. The international Boy Scout youth movement, in many countries, uses it as a close to jamborees and other functions. The song has been translated into more than 40 languages.^[4]

Our best wishes to you all in the coming year 2014.

'May you walk with sunlight shining, The blue-bird in every tree,

May there be a silver lining, back of every cloud you see,

May there be sweet tomorrows, never mind what might have been,

May the Good Lord Bless and keep you,

Till we meet again'.

An Incredible 360 view of the Smithsonian Museum

Here is something special, a virtual tour of the Smithsonian Museum room by room. it's really something with a 360 degree viewing by using your cursor. You easily spend days/weeks looking at everything. Just marvelous for kids and adults. Follow the blue arrows on the floor to move into new rooms.

Shows inside and outside of the museum and there little cameras here and there which show detailed info on certain things. If you click on the floors (upper right corner) you get a floor plan of that floor and you can click on a blue circle and go directly to that room.

Truly incredible web site.

Watch it in full screen when you open this up. Use the roller on your mouse to move in and out. Look for the "arrows" on the floor and click on them. They take you to other places.

Hope you enjoy,

Here's the link,
