Happy upcoming Thanksgiving<br />
to you all out in Readerville,<br />
What—no barrage of campaign<br />
ads every few minutes. I<br />
am almost having withdrawal<br />
from that. Cold air has moved<br />
in to replace all that “hot air” we<br />
have had to endure during this<br />
campaign season.<br />
Post Election<br />
We are left with all the residue<br />
and a few promises, prom-<br />

ises. You know the promise of a<br />
chicken in every pot and a car in<br />
every garage. I wish they would<br />
limit all spending, no matter if<br />
it is obtained local, state or national.<br />
They do not have to be<br />
on 24/7. A couple of debates and<br />
a few ads is all we need. We are<br />
not stupid. We get it.<br />
Just think what they could have<br />
done for the economy if they<br />
would have put all that money<br />
into it. But, no, they have to tie up<br />

you have no choice but to watch<br />
unless you are fortunate enough<br />
to have cable or satellite.<br />
Oh, well, the Democrats pretty<br />
much took it all so we can all<br />
rest easy. They promised to “get<br />
r done.” Oops, did I hear right<br />
that Obama now says it will not<br />
be a quick fix, maybe not even in<br />
the first term? Is that a bid for another<br />
four years? He is not even<br />
in office yet and already is after<br />
an extension. Promises, Promises<br />
- should have known it was<br />
too good to believe.<br />
At The Polls<br />
Mary Jr, Kamilla, and Jo Jo<br />
Miller took me to the poll to cast<br />
my ballot. I missed seeing some<br />

Charity is 29 years old, a single parent with three<br />
children, Hayden <strong>13</strong>, Haylie <strong>11</strong> and Chance 7.<br />
Charity was diagnosed with breast cancer on August<br />
1. On September 4 she underwent a double mastectomy.<br />
After severe complications and four surgeries Charity<br />
has been unable to work. Charity is currently at home<br />
but has a pic line for Home Health Care to administer<br />
medications.<br />
All proceeds from this benefit will go toward helping<br />
Charity and her three children with the many expenses<br />
due to her illness. We are asking our surrounding<br />
communities to pull together and help out a family in<br />
need.<br />
We are in need of donations, items for the auction,<br />
volunteers and baked goods. We appreciate your<br />
support.<br />
Any auction items or donation can be dropped off at the Country Chicks on Main<br />
Street Thurs. ~ Saturday.<br />
If you need more information please call Angie at 417-838-1571 or Kenda at 417-<br />
723-8841. Thank you very much in advance for your donation.<br />
that I usually get to see such as<br />
Kirby Hedrick, Ben and Betty<br />
Loftin, etc. I did enjoy seeing<br />
Inez Atchison, my sister, Edna<br />
Ruth Kessinger and her family,<br />
Ron, Kimberlee, Michael,<br />
and, of course, the little charming<br />
Wesley. I also had the pleasure<br />
of seeing Gertie and Efton<br />
Pritchard, Sophie Mease, the ladies<br />
working the polls and several<br />
others.<br />
Jo Jo immediately told everyone<br />
they would have to line up<br />
because he was an F.B.I man. I<br />
took him into my booth and let<br />
him help me vote before he tried<br />
to take over the polling place.<br />
It was a good day, even if this<br />
year’s election was the worst one<br />
I have ever participated in. But<br />
we will pray!!<br />
Here And There<br />
I saw Norma Johnson while we<br />
were at Dr. Woodall’s. I had not<br />
seen her for a coon’s age. It was<br />
nice to visit with her. Thanks<br />
goes to my sister-in-law, Rosemary<br />
Youngblood, for providing<br />
us with a nice taxi to the doctor’s<br />
office. We have been missing<br />
her and her mother, Mary, at our<br />
Sunday dinners. Hurry and get<br />
well friend, Mary.<br />
Mom, once again, caught up<br />
with all four of her sisters via the<br />
telephone. This always makes<br />
her day. Aunt Lorene is still not<br />
back up to par yet, but we pray<br />
she will be soon.<br />
Sick Bay<br />
There are lots of people sick<br />
with allergies, changes in the<br />
weather, and other serious maladies.<br />
Marie Elder was taken<br />
to the E.R. She has not been<br />
well for months after suffering<br />
a stroke and its residual effects.<br />
We want to send our finest bouquet<br />
of wishes tied with ribbons<br />
of prayer to all of you who are<br />
suffering from one thing or another.<br />
Birthdays<br />
Dr. Bill Cruce in K.C. made<br />
a trip to Wichita to spend a few<br />
days with his mother, my sweet<br />
Aunt Edna Cruce and family. He<br />
wanted his favorite fried chicken<br />
for his birthday, but Auntie had<br />
just done that meal so he got to<br />
dine on smothered steak instead.<br />
Too bad Billy boy.<br />
My ornery nephew, Mike Kessinger,<br />
will have a birthday on<br />
November 24. My angel from<br />
heaven, Mary Jr, along with<br />
Pastor Barnes celebrated on November<br />
7. They share this day<br />
with Dr. Billy Graham. Jodi<br />
McIntosh climbed another rung<br />
on November 7 also. Hey, Kimberlee<br />
Kessinger, what did you<br />
say about Old Jodi, or was that<br />
“ole”Jodi?<br />
Complex<br />
All you people have given<br />
me a complex with your caller<br />
I.D.’s. You call a number and no<br />
one answers. You call again and<br />
get the same results. You now<br />
begin to wonder – are they ignoring<br />
me, don’t want to talk to<br />
me, or are they really not home?<br />
I think they should do away with<br />
that dratted thing. Enough is<br />
enough.<br />
Better Late Than Sorry<br />
There was a wedding, some<br />
gallivanters, and a future wedding<br />
that I failed to cover. I am<br />
not sure who is to blame for this,<br />
but I know it is not me.<br />
Congratulations to the newly weds! Vows between Oralee <strong>Stone</strong><br />
