Happy New Year! Hard to believe it’s already 2014. It certainly came in with a freeze with temps bottoming out at -35. Yes, -35. Crazy for this countryside. But thankfully Mother Nature is back on track with snow, sunshine and temps in the low 30’s this weekend. Looking like a great weekend ahead.

Olympics are coming soon and I can’t wait!  Sad to hear Lindsay Vonn won’t participate but hopefully we’ll see her there as a commentator and cheering her teammates on.  I recently watched the P&G Thank You Mom Olympic promotional video.  I have to say it might just be the best promo spot I’ve seen.  Behind every great athlete is a Mom waiting to pick them back up.
