1/1/2025: Just Wow!!! Happy New Year to one and all. I pray this year will bring good health and peace to all of us. I pray this year will bring us each closer to God and more secure in our relationship with Jesus Christ. 

How did you spend your New Years Eve? Ms. kate and I spent it just like we do every night; watching tv until some time after midnight with Bobby Flay or some other cooking show or watching lottery winner buy houses. My celebratory libation was my cup of coffee and Kate had a bottle of water to take her last pills of the day. We are a lively bunch. 

The weather has certainly changed for the next few days. We are supposed to get bitter cold temperatures with the possibility of some kind of wintery mix whether it will be rain, snow, sleet or what ever, the forecasters are not sure yet. Anyway, it is supposed to come in over the weekend with Sunday and Monday being the “weather-alert” days. I still don’t have the snow blade on the JD but our current prediction is for maybe an inch of snow which doesn’t require a blade and if it comes in as sleet or ice, the blade is useless anyway. Then, the temps are supposed to go back up to normal, ie. In the 40’s. So we’ll see what happens. 

Ms. Kate has a pot of beef barley vegetable soup going. Sometime today we’ll have our black-eyed peas and some greens to celebrate our New Year and “bring us good luck”. I may go ahead and make some corn bread to go with it. 

That’s it for today, just wanted to share a blessing for a wonderful 2025. Peace.
