I hope all of our readers had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with joy, love, and yummy food. You might even be having some leftover sweet potato casserole for breakfast right now or enjoying a turkey sandwich for lunch. Is a Thanksgiving meal even successful without the leftovers?

On Thursday Nov. 10 Saralee Hoselton took the PCMT van to Grafton where she ran some medical and other errands and stopped to wish Linda Hoselton an early “Happy Birthday” at her Sunset Leisure Estates apartment.

I write to you today from paradise. I currently sit on a lounge chair under native coconut and shade trees and brush as my kiddos play with their grandparents in a pool, naturally heated by the warm Costa Rica sun.

So, a few weeks ago I had a tooth break. This has become a fairly com-mon occurrence, as the fillings Dr. Bechtel did well over half a century ago are finally failing. No big deal, no pain at all, just one sharp spot that bothered my tongue for a few days until it wore down.

Here I am, once again writing while on the move. Phil and I, plus our two doggos, are loaded up in the F-150 headed to Bismark. If there’s one thing Phil and I are good at - it would be traveling.

Sometimes the blessings in life are oh so clear. On Sunday I got to become Godmother to my beautiful new niece, Annie. During that ceremony her brother, who also got baptized, was a complete card and everyone was highly entertained by his adorable antics.

Something I thought about while taking a walk after the first real snowfall of the season - do mufflers even work? Many times I have thought a semi was coming up behind me and it turned out to be a really loud pickup. Which is better - icy sidewalk or snow in the street?

If you change your mind please say so, it’s the polite thing to do Over the last few weeks I have been very busy trying to sell many of the items in my rather eclectic collection of “treasures,” which I have been storing for years. Many of these items have been in my possession for decades.
