As a kid I don’t remember many Thanksgivings, but as an adult I have lots of flashbacks of great times together. Perhaps my favorites were the years when my Dad and his wife, and my sister and her brother-in-law would meet my husband and me in Abilene, a town about half way between Amarillo and Austin.

Parents it is imperative for you to speak for your children’s good values and respectful age appropriate library books in LGISD, our town’s school system. Indoctrination of LGBTQ/ Transgender that I think promotes hate in youth. Speak up against that movement and the CRT (Critical Race Theory) movement that causes hate and division throughout our country for youth and adults. Don’t promote these things that tear down our town.

To The Editor: The rest of the world, who will stand in line for days to take advantage of scarce supplies of the vaccine, cannot comprehend, from both a moral and medical science standpoint, why almost 1/3 of Americans, who have the best hospitals and doctors on the planet, still refuse to wear a mask or to simply walk into a pharmacy for a free vaccine.

When I was about five years old, most of the barbed wire fences had already been built by my Dad. However, he still had to build new fences now and then to enclose some areas. Every post put into the ground had to have a hole dug first. This was not done mechanically but by hand using a “drop auger.” It consisted of two blades attached to two pipe handles. One had to drop the blades into the ground, and by spreading the handles apart and squeezing the blades together, extract the dirt out of the hole a little at a time until the hole was deep enough to set the post. Since this tool stood five feet tall and I was only about 4 feet tall, it’s obvious I was too small to operate the drop auger. But my older brother, being tall for his age, could.

Evan Young, a former clerk to the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, has been appointed to the Texas Supreme Court by Gov. Greg Abbott. He will replace Justice Eva Guzman, who resigned in June to run for Texas attorney general.

It’s been feeling like fall, so I cooked a pot of stew Wednesday evening. While cutting up my stew meat and lamenting about the price of beef (it looks like I won’t be smoking a brisket until I get a raise), I looked out the window into the front yard and noticed that the leaves of my Chinese tallow tree are still green.

My wife and I attended the opry on Oct. 18 at the K of C Hall in La Grange. The venue consisted of Bernard (Napy) Gabler, Wayne Beseda, and the D’ Vine testament. We listened to gospel music for approximately three hours.
