The first “real” snowfall in Minnesota on January 20, 2011. Imagine that! Who would have ever guessed that it would come now, and when you think about it, not all that much either.
It is so hard to believe that in just 3 days it will be 2012. I was born in 1947 so that means I have seen a few New Year’s Days come and go.
“But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons.”
I guess that it is that time of year again to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
It is so hard to believe that Christmas is soon to be here. When we were kids it seemed to take for ever for December 25th and now it all happens and is over so quickly!
I’ve asked a couple of people if they have received their 2012 Property Tax Statements.

This was sent to me some time ago just wanted to share it this week for Veteran’s Day.
Sue Renz from Women of Today just stopped by my office to give me a press release about the Christmas Sharing Tree program.
I suppose I should be thankful that we live in a nation where we get to pick and choose our leaders every 2, 4 and 6 years.
The “Occupy Wall Street” rallies continued this past weekend with arrests in Washington D.C where 19 people were hauled away by Supreme Court Policemen.
Once in a blue moon, government does come up with something that works- a program that is highly effective in terms of results and at the same time is cost effective to the taxpayer who foots the bill for all of it.
In the last two weeks I have personally known three people, unemployed for a lengthy period of time, find very good paying jobs.
Most of us remember the song from the musical “The Sound of Music” about Maria’s “favorite things...”
The change in the weather and cooler temperatures certainly has got all of us thinking about Fall.
It is preliminary number crunching time for most cities and counties across the state of Minnesota.
