As of this writing, we are experiencing sloppy roads and temperatures in the thirties. Looking out at the lake we can see one lone fisherman. We check on him every few minutes to make sure he hasn’t fallen through a crack in the ice. I’m not a fisherman, and if I was I wouldn’t be out on the ice today. …

Welcome to 2024. May your worst day this year outshine your best day of 2023. May we all have more love for each other and care more about each others feelings than we ever have before. My doctor has told me many times that I should drink more water. By doing so, I would be a healthier person. It’s no …

This is the final column for 2023, so because this year has been filled with so much stress and worry, I’d like to have the column dedicated to items of a less serious note. We are all getting Out and About with family, so I won’t remind you of any special events that might be happening during this holiday season, …

SNOW, SNOW, SNOW !  I am waiting for snow for Christmas!  I am “Onyx”.  I am a male, bull terrier about two years old.  I was lost in Sturgis and someone brought me into Animal Control.  I am glad to be in a warm, safe place.  My friend “Frank” is still here waiting for his new home also,   My docket …
