It seems of late like there are a lot of people retiring from the Big Sandy community or changing jobs. With every change someone goes home and lives a completely different life style and someone takes over a position and brings new ideas to the workplace. That was all happening in spades when Linda Rutledge retired from the Senior Citizen's Center and Karma Hale took her place. It was the young taking over for the not so young when Karma had her first day in the Senior Citizen's Center on Novem...

It is time to get the Christmas lights out and up. It is a little early for them to be on but it is so much easier to get them up when it is warm. When Mother and I moved into our Sixth Street home in Havre I knew I wanted to have some privacy at the front of the house so that if I wanted to go outside and drink a martini on a Friday night I would not be seen. So we made a wide sidewalk, almost a terrace running from the front door to the driveway. Then we made a high berm and planted blue spruces all the way along the front of the house....
I had heard about my father, Bee Lucke’s troubles with draft boards for years. As a matter of fact it was sort of a family joke. It seemed that in 1944 and early 1945 the local draft board was short of draftable men so they started taking married men with one child. Bee Lucke fit that bill perfectly. I was the one child.

In her article she wrote, “Christmas is the thrill of an old fashioned sleigh ride on a white stretching road glistening with “snow” diamonds on a moonlight night.” When I was eight years old we had a team and a sleigh. Dad hooked up our gelding, Blaze, and too...
