I think folks in our society, our nation, take a lot of things for granted. Especially here in rural North Dakota and throughout rural America. We have it good. For the most part, we expect to live lives relatively free of crime and conflict.

I have a love for Christmas music. The old songs, the new remakes, and even the odd ones. If you want to make the kiddos laugh, put on Gayla Peevey’s song ‘I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas.’ For a more adult version of that song, listen to Kacey Musgraves’ version.

Road trip fun Thanksgiving is coming up as I write this column. Last week Lyle wrote about the passing of my Uncle Kenny. He was quite the cat and was a role model to me from the time I was young. He was a man of great faith and I always admired that in him.

If you read my column last week, you’ll know that my 11 year old daughter had an accident and suffered a concussion. Doctor’s orders were no screens, no reading, no bright lights or activity, and close monitoring. That posed a challenge to me as her mom.

A wonderful man passed away last week. Long time readers of this column may remember when my bride and I often journeyed to Staples, Minnesota where we spent time with her uncle and aunt, Ken and Mary Jane Lingenfelter.
