If I heard right our boys lost to Peetz today. I don’t know the score, but they had a good year for which we congratulate them. Our volleyball girls done alright as they will be going on to State. Good Luck.

Another group from the Kit Carson School that is doing great is the FFA. Our congratulations to Kathleen Paintin on the award she won. Gary and Kristie Borns of Eads took their daughter Jessica to Kentucky for her FFA award.

We talked to Lee Ann today and she said they had been seeing the northern lights and there were a lot of different colors and were really pretty. They live so far north they see them quite often.

Seven head of turkeys were parading back and forth across the highway today right east of our house. With all the traffic, I don’t see how they kept from getting hit. I ran them off the road and headed them south.

Marty and Kirsti said they had a lot of trick-or-treaters in Hugo, even though it was cold. They had candy left to bring us which was nice.

We had a letter from Marian Mulhausen who lives in Denver. Her folks, the Beelers, lived in Flagler, but passed away when she was young and her and her sister moved to Denver and sold tickets at a movie house on Curtis Street. She said that she had a letter from Ida Peterson’s granddaughter in Canada that Ida passed away. She was raised here in Wild Horse and her dad was the section foreman. I remember her and sister, Ellen, very well, but don’t think there is many here that would. She was 92 years old.

Jim and Billie Lafferty had their place really decorated pretty. They had electric pumpkins along the sidewalk and lights around the door along the eaves. It looked so nice, I had to get my camera out for a couple of pictures.

Steve and Debbie went to Nathan’s church for a Halloween party which was fun. They sat out a dish of candy for the trick-or-treaters as they wouldn’t be home. When they got home the dish and all was gone.
