I have never read columns as entertaining as those penned by the late Erma Bombeck, who survived by cancer surgery, only to be claimed by kidney disease at age 69. Her battle was valiant as she underwent five years of dialysis before ultimately failing to survive transplant surgery that came too late.
With us coming into the New Year I know everyone has their traditions on New Year’s Day, making resolutions in the hope of new beginnings, or eating certain foods to start to the New Year off. We usually have ham, black-eyed peas, scalloped potatoes, and cabbage. The black-eyed peas or for luck and cabbage is for folding money (wealth).
Happy New Year. Farewell to 2020. We all hope that 2021 will be a great year with our lives returning to their former style. If you listen to the news, the media will tell you this is only the beginning or that this will last at least another year. I prefer to pray to God that he will end this virus and put truth in the mouths of the media.
Class Meetings resume at the Art United Methodist Church on January 6.
Merry Christmas from my house to yours. This will be a different looking celebration than we have had in the past. It will be that way for many. My prayer is that we all remember that we are celebrating the birth of our Saviour. The parties and decorations, food and drink, and the gifts from family and friends are just sideline events.
I am one week and one day away from my final day as editor at the News. And, this is my final Christmas in this role. After one of the strangest and most difficult years most of us have ever endured.
On top of that, this week's paper is the 52nd of the year.
Dear Editor,
Fact, Theory, and Fiction.
“You are entitled to your opinion, but you are not entitled to your facts.”
My wife and family and I come to Mason from Colorado several months each year. We’ve owned a place in Mason County since 2003. We have lots of friends here and we consider ourselves part of the community.
I’m still isolating and patiently waiting for my turn to receive the COVID vaccine.
COVID Christmas will be different but, the reasons for celebrating will be exactly the same as always.
We are delivering Christmas/Birthday presents, maybe with a socially distanced Christmas carol. Leave the grandparents alone they will appreciate the respect for their health.
"It may look beautiful now on a Christmas card or in a religious picture, but there is not really anything lovely in hunting desperately fer lodgings when your wife is pregnant and near her time. There is nothing romantic in having your first baby in a drafty cave because no one in the inn next door will give up his bed for you, and it isn't really much fun to put your baby to sleep in the cattle's feeding trough because there is nowhere else except the dirty floor.
