Dear Editor:

As one of many San Saba residents who has no family in Texas, I wish to express my thanks to The Father's House for their Thanksgiving Dinner.

For seven years now, I've been blessed with not having to spend Thanksgiving alone.

The rain came again over this past week leaving an inch and light shower Sunday. Any moisture is welcome. The weather will warm up the latter part of this week, which is always nice to hear.

William Price is now playing flag football and many members of his family watched as his team won their first game this past week. It is exciting to watch the little guys play. They played under the lights at the field in the park.

Thank you to all the veterans and guests who came to lunch on Friday. The school staff under the management of Shannon Sutherland prepared a delicious meal for our guests. The children prepared notes of appreciation for our service veterans. We are missing a few of our veterans this year, but they are not forgotten.

One of my ex-students from Dallas, posted a picture of her grandfather, a Vietnam veteran and asked the NFL to find another way to protest; our troops deserve respect and recognition. I agree. Thank you to all the awesome service members who have served both my countries nobly. Stan Larremore and Mr. Harkey, in full uniform, spent some time with the kids and staff. It was a great day.

Russ and I were some of the lucky ones that received a short burst of rain Saturday evening. The totals were between .4 and .7 inches. Rob Brockman teased me Sunday because he did not get very much and I did. He said that the rain falls on the unrighteous as well as the righteous. I agreed with him whichever way you want to turn it.

We definitely need to have a little more in this area.

Early this morning I heard this wild wind rushing the house so I knew the front had come through. Unfortunately, the promised rain did not come with it. We are due for a good soaker rain, but I don’t see it in the forecast. The cool weather will be refreshing especially during recess for the kids. I can tell you there were some red faced kiddos.

The final home senior game has come and gone. It was a victorious game, but I suspect that some of the tears being shed were not for the victory. Until you have kissed your son or daughter goodbye, you cannot truly understand the heart wrenching that occurs.

I think this must be the greatest self-doubting time for a parent.

Fun with Mutations 

Have you ever been having a conversation with someone and suddenly the other person is looking at you as if you have two heads? Surely someone has said something at some time to cause you to look at them that way. We can be conversing along with someone, right along the same path, when suddenly something that is totally logical and sensible and true to one of the parties stops the other party dead in his or her tracks, trying to find any sense at all in what he or she just heard.
