As we welcome this new year of 2026, that will be my continued focus. Hope. I think most of us started 2025 that way, then…. well, it seemed to take on an unbelievable life of it’s own. Even the weather was relentless in the end. The Artic Bomb Cyclone has had the Great Lakes region in one layer of ice followed by snow, then more ice topped off with temps that went from the fifties to double digits below zero, often in the same day. Add some prolonged periods of 60 MPH winds and well, it’s pull out the rosary time. So today with a few inches of NEW snow and temperatures around zero, I’m hoping things are about to change for the better. Maybe if Mother Nature hears me, that will be weather that is not so obscenely severe. The rest of the world? I ‘ll give that some consideration tomorrow. Until then I’ll appreciate the beauty outside my windows and settle in to a lovely New Years Day breakfast of Panettone French Toast. A quote just came to mind that I think of often and I look forward to something wonderful happening for all of us. Happy New Year my friends! ” Expect something wonderful to happen”.
