Thanks to Julie Waara, we get a nighttime look at the decorations going up at the Bridgeview Park and the Houghton Waterfront. I guess you can say it’s beginning to look like December, with Christmas in mind. We’ve had a dumping of snow since Julie snapped these photos last week, too, so I bet it’s even more magical with the blanket of snow all around. I wish we could pipe in some Christmas music, then the scenes would be complete!
Speaking of a dumping of snow, it’s just what the snow enthusiasts have been hoping for, to get outdoors and enjoy some winter sports, including snowmobiling. Today’s video from Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula is your “Key to Your Snowmobile Adventure” here in the Keweenaw. Check it out!

Very cool pictures. We're gonna pick my mom up and bring her around the area looking at lights. That looks like a good place to start. Does anybody know of a good place to look? In Minnesota, the towns have special nights to go around looking at lights in different towns, with maps and all. Amazing what some people can do with lights.
Four years ago today my mother-in-law passed away from a heart attack. That was such a shock because she was always so healthy. Doesn't seem like 4 years already. Also happy heavenly birthday to my grandmother. She's been gone for 40 years already. So hard to believe.
And 80 years ago was Pearl Harbor. One of so many horrible days in history. Our generation will never see the world live together in peace and harmony. Let's pray our children and grandchildren figure it out.

Nice! And remembering Pearl Harbor, 911 and the slain students at Oxford High. I have to agree with Deb..."Our generation will never see the world live together in peace and harmony." We are in a downward-spiral that we can't seem to pull out of. Charlie...just wondering: Did you go to Oxford High?

Very good observation, Deb and Alex. The only way we can rise up from the current chaos and lawlessness in our country is to enforce existing laws and hold all violators accountable to the fullest extent of the laws. Yes, that includes you politicians too. May 2022 be a brighter, saner, safer, and more peaceful year for all Americans.
