How did you like winter this year? Call me crazy but in this age of “Global Warming”, a somewhat normal winter would have felt good to me! Having a hot cup of coffee after shovelling a snow is one of those little things in the life that I enjoyed more this year compared to past 7-8 years. For me, winter is a time for comfort, good food, warmth and most importantly, time for family & friends. I am writing this message on one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold but giving us a sure sign that Spring is just around the corner.
