How long does it take for my head to change back to regular time? I’m still waking up an hour earlier, and I am not a morning person. And in the evening, I am not ready to make supper, and it is already dark out. I suppose by the time we spring ahead in March, I finally will have succeeded, and then will have to readjust to daylight saving time. It’s a vicious circle.
On Wednesday, Frieda Jacobson picked up Evelyn Zirk and me for a trip to Tomah, where we lunched with the Hill Country Belles Red Hats members at the Peking Chinese Restaurant. We planned our Christmas meeting after having a sumptuous meal.
At the west end of the neighborhood, we find Lynette Vlasak and Sally Dana celebrating Veterans Day at Royall Elementary School, attending the program honoring our veterans. That night, the gals were at the Kendall Public Library’s fundraising paint night at the fire station. On Friday evening, the library hosted the movie “Unbroken” at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church’s fellowship hall in Kendall.
At noon Monday, Heather Vlasak joined former classmates Julie Zirk, Mary Lou Hiner and Judy Martin for a mini-reunion luncheon at China Buffet in Reedsburg.
Jim and Mary Parkhurst joined Ron and Arlene Garvens as they went to Tomah for supper at the Superior Restaurant, and then attended Area Community Theatre’s production of “Plaid Tidings” on Friday night. The next night, they were back in Tomah at the high school auditorium for the Concert Association’s International String Trio performance.
On Friday night, my husband Dave and I attended the movie at St. John’s in Kendall, and on Saturday we had visitors and hunters. As nephew Jim Boles of Racine and great-nephew Ben Dorval of Union Grove, Wis., were bow hunting,Russell Bolden of Tomah was in the area and stopped in for a good visit. That night, Ben took me to Tomah to see “The Peanuts Movie” at Ho-Chunk Cinema.
It seems that last weekend actually was the first of November, and already this coming Saturday is opening day of gun-deer season. That means that Thanksgiving is coming up the following Thursday. It’s time for continuing our thankfulness to the Lord for all He does for us during good times and bad. He never gives us more than we can handle, but as my sister has said in times of crisis, “I just wish He didn’t trust me so much.” The most important thing to be thankful for is for our Savior, Jesus Christ, and to that I’ll close with a heartfelt Amen!
