KIRKSVILLE —
Hello everyone. The weather sure has changed, but the beautiful leaves are trying to hang on.
I have enjoyed the leaves,even though it seems to have been only a short time. The cold weather has come on quickly. I am just not ready for it.
I do know a way to warm up. Susie at the Roundhill Store is having a fish fry Saturday from 4 to 8 p.m.
She will be having deep-fried fish, home fries, coleslaw and baked beans, and, of course, some great desserts.
Don't forget, it is Saturday night, not Friday night. But if you do forget, you still can get some great food anyway.
Full Gospel Tabernacle is having Jeff and Sheri Easter in concert this Friday at 7 p.m.
This is a free concert. Everyone is invited. It will be too cold to do anything else.
The Easters are great. You will have the opportunity to sit down with them and talk. They are so personable, friendly and loving.
There will be a chili supper after the singing.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween. I know it was cold. I always enjoy the kids. Even as a child, I would rather give out candy than to go trick-or-treating myself.
The Christmas gathering will be at Kirksville Community Center on Nov. 10 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
There will be 50-plus crafts and direct sales vendors. This is their third annual craft and vendor fair.

Disease, thieves were all part of life on the farm

Freedom Rally June 1 in front of the courthouse
Observance of Memorial Day began after the Civil War, but the poet Joyce Kilmer wrote these lines as he served in another great conflict, World War I. His words were more than poetic, they were just and honorable. Kilmer is best known for writing “I think that I shall never see a poem as lovely as a tree.” He was killed in the Second Battle of the Marne.

Bookmobile coming to Union City this summer
Union City Day was Saturday. The threat of rain discouraged some yard sale participation but overall it was a good day. Fundraising activities by the club raised more than expenses, so that is good news.

Gone in the blink of an eye
Hi!
One more day of school — yippee!! It sure has felt like summer the past few days, hasn't it? I hope our showers/ storms predicted for today aren’t in the severe category. The folks in Oklahoma have had a tough time of it lately (our prayers are certainly with them).
Can you believe this is Memorial Day weekend? Where did the month of May go -- it was here and gone in the blink of an eye it seems.
Representatives of the Flatwoods Cemetery Association Inc. will be set up at the entrance to the cemetery with ballots for upcoming Board of Directors. Just stop by, mark your ballot and drop same in the ballot box and we'll let you know the names of the 2013-2014 Board members. -
Try these ‘crocking good’ foods
Crock pots are amazing. A crock pot is worth purchasing if you are like myself always on the go.
You can make anything in it, from desserts to breakfast foods, not just stews and soups. The other side of using one is PATIENCE, and a time for preplanning. If you use your time wisely, your crock pot will make your meal planning easier. - More Lifestyles & Community Headlines
