We have all been blessed with such a beautiful Fall season. I have enjoyed taking pictures of the trees changing colors along with the decorations in yards in the communities. I am still experimenting with my camera. I hadn’t tried to take movies with it until the other day. I decided to try it and I am posting it with my column. I decided to try it about the time a train came through. It isn’t anything new to me. It is almost in my back yard. Now, you can year what I hear many times a day. I intend to improve upon my movie taking abilities! I am researching photography extensively.

Harvest has been wonderful to watch too. I have driven many miles to observe farmers working so hard, harvesting the reaps of their fields. We are all truly blessed to have such dedicated farmers, working long hours each day to bring in their crops.

They feed America. Without them, not a one of us would be here.  Thank you for all that you do!

My husband, Jeff, just started a new job. He is working much longer days and every other weekend.

I am excited for him, because he really likes this job. It is at Craig Cattle Company. Jeff was born and raised on a farm. He spent a majority of his life farming. He worked in the fields and had cattle. Not as many as he works around now, but he does love cattle and working outdoors.

I am having many more responsibilities at home now. I take care of his Golden Retriever, Tucker, a great deal more now.

He would prefer Jeff, but when it is only me, he doesn’t mind. When he knows Jeff is home, he looks at the house wanting Jeff to be with him, not me. I don’t doubt that Jeff will always be his favorite, as it should be. He will still be taking care of him. I will just be helping out when he is tired.

It is one of life’s changes, and grateful for it. The smile I see on Jeff’s face makes me very happy.

The three schools in Burt County have been discussing merging. This is such an important issue. I strongly encourage citizens to attend a meeting about the issue on Tues., Nov. 5^th at 7:00 p.m. at the Lyons-Decatur Northeast gymnasium.

Everyone is encouraged to attend. The school boards of Tekamah-Herman, Oakland-Craig and Lyons-Decatur Northeast have been researching and discussing possibilities for several months now.

This meeting is a perfect time to ask any questions you may have, and to learn what the three school boards are proposing for options in this issue.

Thought for the Day: Let us remember, this is a very tough decision facing the three Burt County school boards. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Until we meet again, enjoy!
