Making toast

We were having trouble coming up with something Grandson Bennett would eat for breakfast. He doesn’t like scrambled eggs. Or cereal that isn’t highly sugared. Or biscuits. Or pancakes. He is living with us these days, so it was becoming a problem finding menu choices that he would eat.

Town Talk

Thank you to everyone who volunteered and donated to Wreaths Across Stroud. It was a wonderful tribute to our deceased veterans. The American Legion Auxiliary could not have undertaken this project without the help of each of you.

Letter to the editor

Dear editor, I can not understand the thought process in the Gaza, preceding the attack by Hamas on Israel last month. The Palestines, a society that can not feed their people, militarily attack Israel, possibly the best prepared military on earth!

Christmas list

I am almost finished with my Christmas shopping. Most of the presents are for my kids, grandkids and step-kids and involve pictures of dead presidents, so it’s not quite the accomplishment it seems, but hey. Celebrate life’s accomplishments when you can, right?

The greatest generation

I was recently reflecting about people in the generation before me. I think of those who are still active and full of life. I also think of the people of that generation who led active lives until they passed away.

Please make note of this event change! The Wreaths Across Stroud Ceremony will take place this Sunday, December 17th, at 1:30 p.m. at the Stroud Cemetery. This is a date and time change so please change it in your calendars and tell your friends about the new date and time.

Remembering Pearl Harbor

Today is Dec. 7. It marks 82 years ago since the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the act that thrust the United States into World War II. I think it’s important for us today to stop a few minutes and think about that infamous day.

Town Talk

Congratulations to Stroud Chamber of Commerce and City of Stroud on a great Christmas parade. Everyone enjoyed the parade and gave it rave reviews. The Christmas spirit was definitely alive and well in Stroud. The Illuminated Elf theme was a huge success.

Senses

Kindra woke me with a tap on the shoulder Thanksgiving morning. “I hate to wake you up with bad news,” she said, handing me my glasses. More precisely, she handed me what was left of my glasses. It didn’t take a full glance to realize what happened.

COVID Review

It’s been nearly four years since the outbreak of the Coronavirus (Covid-19). With that, I was looking back the other day and trying to remember how life began to change for so many millions of people.
