Once again, we are having weather suited to the season of fall nearing winter, the weather people forecast for next week cold temperatures and more rain on some days. We have had rain scattered around for the last few days and it will come and go from time to time. The leaves have been falling by the wagon loads as some have said, you can rake, mow, or blow them away and the next day they are back, it will soon be time that they will all be off the trees and then maybe we can get them all moved from the yard. The rain along with time change has brought some dismal days to our area.

If you missed early voting I hope you still plan to go out and vote for those who you think will be the best choice for the office, they seek in our nation. The privilege of voting for our choice is the only way we have a say in what goes on in our country.
It is getting time that some of the hunting seasons will be open, and many will be out trying to find a good trophy, but some will simply be looking for some meat to put on the table and much of the wild meat is really good and very tasty. We are blessed with many types of animals in our area that can be hunted and are good for food. I love deer jerky and steak cooked with gravy and served with other foods that go along with it.
Prayers for all the families who are sick and shut-in at this time that they may soon be able to be home and enjoy the family around them. Prayers for health and happiness for all those who are like myself land getting up in years, we don’t fare as well with the cold weather and all the dampness.
Children are getting excited that it is getting close to Christmas, yes even more than a full month away and they are still making their wish list. Our nation has been so blessed and we need to be thankful for all we have an pray for the countries that are less fortunate.
