On Monday, October 6, 1947, an issue of Time Magazine came off the presses with this statement printed:
"This toast is a favorite with crusty old Fleet Admiral William F. Halsey". And for y'all I thought I'd try to add a bit of humor with Admiral Halsey's words.
A toast to you for 2014--
If you're interested, the photos are as follows--
A Great Kiskadee bird at Oso Bay yesterday.
Tahoe, after sniffing my vodka gimlet emptied glass!!
Winston, hungover!!! [literally hungover]
A sand sculpture on our beach a few years ago...
and
A turtle, come out of your shell & face the new year---
You may also ask, who is Admiral William F. Halsey? Read about him here.
