Here’s to hoping the new year improves from the old

The year 2023 was a good, bad, and ugly year for the whole world. The weather, COVID, flu, wars, and politics dominated the last couple of months and the same conflicts will probably abound for the next coming months.
I am going to bury my head in the ground and report only upcoming new, happy events.
By the time this issue arrives in your mailbox, decorations, and lights probably will all be gone. New Year parties and resolutions will be a thing of the past, but dieting will be the main goal of most people over 40 in the next few months.
I am hoping the weather will not be like last year and we will not have to put up with no electricity this winter. However, no worries today — it’s blackeye peas, cabbage and sausage day. Happy New Year everyone.
I do not mind the cold weather if the sun shines and the outside does not look dreary. I understand that we do have to have some frost to kill the pesky insects that bite us in the spring, but I still don’t like cold and wet weather. Kudos to whoever invented OFF.
