Last week I had my own rules given to me by a 2-year-old, “no flip flops outside.” Okay, gotcha Mr. Kohen. It is interesting to me that a 2-year-old has such a memory.

Read moreThanks to White Hall Grocery, White Hall Café, White Hall Community VFD along with Salem Lutheran Church for inviting children to do their trick or treating in a safe environment. The Truck or Treat at the VFD had more visitors than last year. I like visiting with the children and parents. My great-grandson Kohen looked cute in his bull rider outfit. He had to have new boots, vest and jeans because he is getting so tall. My homemade chaps were just the right length.

For volunteers who worked to make this all happen, thank you.
