It’s Thanksgiving Day, and what a wonderful day it is! The kids are here, having driven in from Flint, Texas and Cheney. Grandkids are everywhere—playing the Wii, a granddaughter is playing the piano, the youngest grandson is acting crazy with Grandpa.

Mom and Dad’s anniversary was November 26th, so this year since Thanksgiving lands on that day, here is a poem I read that reminds me of them since they always had such a bountiful garden every year.

Dear Editor: When Biden and Harris defund our law enforcement protections and Harris uses executive orders to ban our firearms, she needs to save the taxpayers the cost of her security guards.

The recent election season shook me to my core. There has not been, in my recollection or lifetime, an election more exhausting and divisive. I don’t handle conflict well; it settles into my bones and affects my whole body, makes me anxious and ill.

THIS AND THAT! * Sir Sean Connery, the James Bond all other actors aspire to be! He was my favorite Bond, but I also enjoyed many other movies he starred in, and I do mean “starred,” in through the years. He had that charisma on and off the screen, and had such a commanding, yet lilting voice.

Dear Editor: Howdy people! Here’s the scoop and here’s the poop! It’s my freedom of speech opinion, while I still have that freedom. I’m appealing to the Stockton Sentinel to print it.

Why? Whynot! With the elections FINALLY over and holidays coming quickly, I decided now would be the perfect opportunity to get out and explore some more territory in the Great U.S. of A.

MAN ALIVE, TRENT IS FIVE!! Who has a pocket full of rocks And loves puppies and bugs? Who can wrestle like a champ But also gives great, big hugs? Who can’t resist jumping in puddles And loves to explore? Who will be celebrating a birthday soon And will be four, plus one more?

The spookiest places in Kansas I hope you are remembering that Saturday is the night of the “Halloween-Global-Full-Blue Moon,” which is so rare, the last time it occurred was in 1944, during World War II.

Halloween is coming So what should they wear? Will Tessa be a princess And Trent look debonair? Tessa will be a cheerleader In Stockton blue and white. Trent will be Captain America Come this Halloween night.
