Corrines Corner December 29, 2025
Happy New Year to one and all. It doesn’t seem possible that another year has gone by. My resolutions also went by the wayside as well. Have to start another list. Maybe I can get further into the year.
We got our winter weather in a big blast over the Christmas holidays. The ice on the roads was terrible. There were several people who fell on the ice. Be very careful when walking outside. It is still ice under the light snow that we got on Monday morning.

Ole said to Sven… It is perfectly ok to talk to yourself and it’s perfectly ok to answer yourself Sven, but it’s sad that you must repeat what you said because you weren’t listening
Times are changing.. now you can buy eggs on the street and weed in the stores.
