I wait to welcome the New Year.

Into every life, there needs to be some new cheer.

But, who puts it there? Who is responsible for the bubbly effervescence?

Enter the Sudses, Commander Sudsy and his trusty second-in-command, Second.

Bubbling is their game, and New Year’s Eve is the big pop that puts them over the top, replenishes their reserves and makes them fit and ready for another year of fastidious bathing and festive partying.

Only, something happened, sales are down, and the bubbly of the New Year is in jeopardy

What can be done? Will the start of 2014 be flat?

“The New Year’s People” was last New Year’s first story of the year to welcome and introduce 2014. For your reading enjoyment, the Sudses, their plight and the amazing solution will be posted tomorrow about noon. Don’t miss the fun.

For this New Year 2015, a brand new New Year’s story will be posted here early next week. It is the story of a young man who seems to have lost his birthday.

Until then, be content with a good bubble of a story to read.

Tomorrow, Captain Sudsy, sir, tomorrow.

See you then.

Grandpa Jim
