Black History Month is an annually observed commemorative month originating in the United States, where it is also known as African-American History Month. It is to remember important people and events in the history of the African diaspora. Without African people, the world wouldn’t be the same. So many good things have come from our African neighbors and friends. It’s a good and right thing to celebrate all the things this community has contributed to America and the world.
It’s hard to believe it’s February now. January seemed to go on forever. Let’s hope the “month of love” will be kind to us. But this is 2026, and it’s a continuation of 2025. Man, I am sure the moody pessimist these days. Maybe good things will happen, maybe. Peace and hope to us all.
Breakfast this Saturday morning called for brioche French toast with sausage and of course Tim Hortons Coffee. It got the day off to a good start.
Last weekend we were looking at icy conditions but it was more wet and rainy.
This weekend it’s a full on snow event. It’s pretty and enjoyable.
It’s cold so staying warm is the order of the day.
I love a good Reuben sandwich. This one from Mimi’s Deli in the Hixson community of Chattanooga is quite tasty. Paired with fresh cut french fries makes for a great lunch to power the day’s activities.
America is a cold place where ICE does things that freeze the soul. Nostalgia can be a dual-edged sword, but I long for days when there was warmth and sanity. There is so much going on that leaves a tear to the eye and a clenching of the heart. Life is hard, and the struggle is indeed real. It seems like Winter is everywhere and people are stuck out in the cold. Too many lives have perished in it. I wonder if the future is going to be frigid like the present. Friends safety comes from being out in from the cold. May no one else lose their lives and may they be safe. It’s cold, and I wonder when it will be warm again.
