RICHMOND —
Hello everyone. Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Susie of the Roundhill Store is celebrating with a Thanksgiving meal this Thursday from 11-2p.m. She will be preparing the traditional meal. You know — all that turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes with gravy and of course pumpkin pie to top it off. It will be a great meal. Just think: You won’t even have to cook this one. All you have to do is just sit and eat.
The community Thanksgiving meal at the community center will be on Wednesday , Nov. 21. It will begin at 6:30 p.m. If you have never attended, well it is about time that you get started. The night will begin with an opening prayer of Thanksgiving, followed by a few songs. A brief message will be brought by Butch Pennington of the Baptist Church. A pot luck meal and lots of fellowship is to follow. All the Poosey and Kirksville churches gather to thank God for all the blessings throughout the year. Even though there have been hardships of loss of loved ones this year, we all still gather to share the blessing that God continues to bestow upon all of us. Many other churches join in with us as well. Everyone is welcome. Try to bring a can of food that night for the Salvation Army. I would love to see that gym full.
Don’t forget to make a winter drop off to the Clothing Closet on Saturday at 9 a.m. All those in need please stop by to get some good used clothing. These items are free to those who are in need. I know there already has been some local fires.

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. -

My! How things have changed

Peter Perlman — Life lessons from a lawyer’s lawyer
One of the great moments of my life was sitting next to legendary Louisville attorney Frank Haddad at a luncheon when he learned he had received the first Peter Perlman Outstanding Trial Lawyer award from the Kentucky Academy of Trial Lawyers.
As they started his bio, the surprised Frank started crying like a baby. A sudden heart attack took him less than a year later. Winning the Perlman award was the crowning achievement of his career. -
Credit score insanity
Frequently, people stop me and ask me personal finance questions.
The most common is how to improve their credit history score.
If you need to improve your credit score, it means you have lousy credit. Before fixing the score, people need to ask how their credit got so bad to begin with. -

Fresh strawberries at the farmer's market
Hello from Baldwin,
How is everyone’s week going? I hope everyone is having a great one. Well the weather has improved a lot. I have heard the lawn mowers buzzing since the rain stopped for a few of days. Everyone is trying to get their yard mowed and trimmed up before the next rain. Gardeners are out working diligently working the grounds that have finally dried enough to plant things. It has been very difficult on the gardeners with all of the rain to get their gardens planted. Oh, won’t those fresh vegetables taste good. -

I have heard that one of the music sessions will include folks from Union City Baptist Church with ukuleles. For yard sales, you can start setting up at 7 a.m. Saturday morning. It will be a great day to get out and meet your neighbors. Two raffles are underway, one is for a quilt handmade by Mary Sewell.

The sun is going to shine for us
It's another cloudy Tuesday here in Paint Lick, but folks, the sun is going to shine for us all this week, so we can get into our gardens and plow up our fields and just be happy that maybe the rain will stay away, at least for a little while. We have a wonderful breeze out that will soon dry the ground.
