We saw a lot of frozen, frosty puddles along the way. I hope you kept your faucets dripping overnight to keep pipes from freezing. We did not on Christmas Eve and woke up to frozen pipes Christmas morning. Thankfully, they thawed before noon with no leaks. We will be more careful from now on. We have chicken left over from holiday so, my own recipe for chicken salad is where I go from here. Chicken salad recipe Ingredients 4 cups cooked chicken, shred- ded or chopped 1/2 cup chopped sweet or red onion 1 chopped bell pepper 1/4 cup mayonnaise squirt of spicy mustard 1 tablespoon curry powder 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 cup craisins 1 cup almond slivers Salt to taste Directions In large mixing bowl, add chicken, onion, bell pepper curry and pepper. Toss until coated with curry. Add more curry if you like the flavor to be more intense. Add mayonnaise, mustard, and toss until well coated. Add more mayonnaise if you like wet- ter chicken salad. Toss in craisins and almond slivers. Mix until all coated well. Add salt if wanted. We spent Christmas Eve celebrating with friends. Since our kids are military, we did not have them here this year. Glad we have the internet to share FaceTime. We did not have snow, but Jack Frost paid a visit. We drove to Jackson on Christmas Day to Serve on toasted whole wheat bread or with your favorite crack- ers. Also great with celery sticks. We have had some warm days scattered throughout this month. I think it is good for keeping that cabin fever away to get out and take a nice long walk or bike ride on these nice days. I always wear a hat and take my gloves along. That wind will sometimes catch me off guard. I just completed the book “Evicted” by Matthew Des- mond. I recommend it if you want some real insight into poverty and difficulty in big cities for those less fortunate. Here we are again. Right before 2021 begins and deciding if we want to commit to a New Year’s resolution. A half-hearted wish is not a resolution. A well-planned way to succeed at that thing you re- solve to change will get you to where you want to be. If 2020 has taught me anything, it is to resolve to live every day as if it is my last. That may be the toughest commitment I have ever made. “Sometimes it is the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.” – Keri Russell

Happy birthday Dec. 31 to Quaid Bonee who is a sopho-more at UT Martin.

Happy New Year to all readers. From entertainer, the late Johnny Cash, in his song “Christmas As I Knew It”, Christmas came and Christ-mas went Christmas that year was heaven sent.

Christmas 2020 is a pleas-ant memory as we face the joys and challenges of 2021. From John 1:5, “The light shines in darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.” Let us face each day in the light.

Have a happy and safe New Year’s holiday.

visit Doug Wiley from Bruton Branch. We saw a lot of frozen, frosty puddles along the way.

I hope you kept your faucets dripping overnight to keep pipes from freezing. We did not on Christmas Eve and woke up to frozen pipes Christmas morning. Thankfully, they thawed before noon with no leaks. We will be more careful from now on.

We have chicken left over from holiday so, my own recipe for chicken salad is where I go from here.Chicken salad recipe

ded or chopped 1/2 cup chopped sweet or

We spent Christmas Eve celebrating with friends.

Since our kids are military, we did not have them here this year. Glad we have the internet to share FaceTime.

We did not have snow, but Jack Frost paid a visit. We drove to Jackson on Christmas Day to

Serve on toasted whole wheat bread or with your favorite crack-ers. Also great with celery sticks.

• We have had some warm days

scattered throughout this month. I think it is good for keeping that cabin fever away to get out and take a nice long walk or bike ride on these nice days. I always wear a hat and take my gloves along. That wind will sometimes catch me off guard.

I just completed the book “Evicted” by Matthew Des-mond. I recommend it if you want some real insight into poverty and difficulty in big cities for those less fortunate.

Here we are again. Right before 2021 begins and deciding if we want to commit to a New Year’s resolution.

A half-hearted wish is not a resolution. A well-planned way to succeed at that thing you re-solve to change will get you to where you want to be. If 2020 has taught me anything, it is to resolve to live every day as if it is my last. That may be the toughest commitment I have ever made.
