Or was it the snapping, crackling, and popping of frozen trees and branches falling on power lines and cutting off electricity to much of the city in the process… as power has been restored to most, people learned once again that there is nothing like the hospitality of strangers and friends alike that keeps the city and the world going… we just can’t do it on our own…

Hope Smiles from the threshold of the year to come,
Whispering ‘it will be happier’… – Alfred Tennyson

Wishing you many blessings in the coming year and grace to overcome the challenges… Happy New Year everyone!
