From the Editor’s Desk

This weekend’s snowstorm marked the first time I had to pull the snowblower out of the garage this season. I’m fairly proud of my snowblowing abilities, as I just learned how to use the machine (thanks, You- Tube) two winters ago. Previously, I enjoyed (just kidding on the enjoying part) a full shoveling work-out experience. However, living in a house on a hill on a corner lot with all of the city sidewalks surrounding the lot and a half deep property, as well as all of the sidewalks up to the three doors of the house in every direction, a snowblower became a must.

The future starts today for our communities, and it comes from all of us

Our second grandson joined the family last fall. I have a photo of my mom holding him at six weeks, and it makes me think about the 86 years separating them. My mom started hospice at the end of last year, and she passed away Jan. 2. Reflecting on how one journey is starting as another ends, I keep wondering what my little grandson’s world will be like 86 years from now. What is the future I want for him? And what am I willing to do to get there?
