  • Is It Time For New Traditions?

    ·

    I hope you had a very nice Thanksgiving. Thursday night I found myself thinking about traditions. I think traditions are wonderful and I love to hear about what different families do and how those traditions came to be. I guess I was thinking about traditions because this year seemed to be so different from our…

  • “Hey Hon? Any Turkey Left?”

    ·

    It never fails… especially if you’re the one who hosted….Turkey for days! I remember when the kids were younger and still living at home. They would come down for dinner and you’d hear it: “Turkey again?” I’ve found that my tastes have changed over the years. My favorite used to be the turkey sandwich with…

  • Thanksgiving Changes Through The Years

    ·

    When I think back to Thanksgiving Day when I was young (yes I have a few memories from that far back), I seem to remember each Thanksgiving being about the same. My mom would cook for days. We would all eat with me and my cousins sitting at the kids table. Then we would play…

  • The Thanksgiving Without High School Football

    Harry Lowe, Softball Head Coach, Football Off. Coordinator Any other year would find the coach attending a pep rally and then the bon fire. Tomorrow morning he would meet the other coaches at 6 a.m. for a Thanksgiving breakfast. After that would come the annual rivalry with Durfee High School and the final game for…

  • C’mon! You Must Have SOME Blessings!

    ·

    I looked at the calendar and realized that this should be the “Thanksgiving Column.” Looking back I usually write about “counting your blessings.” As I’ve written before, if you look hard enough, I’m sure can find some good things that happened. Then along came 2020. I know: plenty of things were cancelled this year. My…

    What. A. Day! I told you Thanksgiving was the greatest! Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. Mine was stupendous! (That’s a word, right?)

    Like many people, but probably not enough, I go to church most Sundays. I say “most” because I am guilty of sleeping in occasionally, especially if the weather is bad, the roads are icy or I got a horrible night’s sleep. This past Sunday I was determined to be there even though the weather made…
