Can you believe this beautiful
weather? We are so blessed. Did
you get your outside lights up? Me
either but I am still going to try to
do something in the next day or
two.
Just a reminder for those who
don’t have school kids, or just
maybe haven’t heard, the junior
high/high school concert is December
13 at 7:00 p.m. and the elementary
program is December 17
at 7:00 p.m. Make your plans to
attend.
Rita and Harley Henderson
had guests for Thanksgiving:
Harley and Pam and kids from

Tina from Omaha, Neb. Harley is
home after a brief stay in the hospital.
Hope you are getting better,
Harley.
Jones County School had their
Christmas party at the local supper
club this past Saturday night.
Sounds like a good time was had
by all.
Karla Mannhalter went to Martin,
S.D., over the weekend to visit
her sister. They attended the craft
fair and parade of lights. Fifteen
to 20 floats were in the parade
and all were decorated beautifully.
Jackie Fosheim and Jody Lebeda
journeyed to Midland for the
Christmas fair, held at the Legion
Hall. Those ladies had really gotten
into the decorating of the hall
with a theme of snowmen and
snowflakes throughout the hall.
Plus they had a tree of lights contest
that each visitor got to vote
on, not an easy decision as they all
were beautiful. They topped off
the afternoon with a live nativity
complete with the Christmas
story and songs, which got everyone
in the spirit of Christmas. The
treats weren’t bad either.
A carry in dinner was brought
to the home of Helen McMillan
Sunday. Guests were Virgil and

Tuesday, November 20, Teresa
Palmer, Keith Hunt, Christine
Niedan, Janice Tolton, and
Michelle Meinzer all of Midland
went to Philip for visitation for
Roy Roseth. After dropping off
Keith at the funeral home, they
picked up Ida Hunt at the nursing
home so all could go to the visitation
for their uncle/brother-in-law.
Wednesday, November 21,
Teresa Palmer, Christine Niedan,
and Jan Tolton of Midland flew
out from Rapid City Airport to El
Paso, Texas to spend Thanksgiving
with Jan's daughter, Jenna,
Oscar and one-year-old Keenan.
Jenna is a PA stationed at Ft.
Bliss, the Army Base in El Paso.
Oscar is stationed in California.
On Thanksgiving, the group
went to a parade which had several
bands, acrobats (who stopped
and performed in front of the
crowd), many huge floats – one
especially pretty one was a train
engine and three cars, and other
walkers. They enjoyed eating
Thanksgiving dinner out which
was a nice treat! Jenna had
pumpkin pie to enjoy later in the
evening. Friday found everyone
(except Keenan who went to day
care) viewing the border into Chihuahau,
Mexico. It was interesting
to see all the people crossing
the bridge carrying goods in suitcases
and bags to return to Mexico.
After shopping in that area,
they ate out, picked up Keenan,
and returned to Jenna's lovely
home. That night the girls
babysat Keenan so Jenna and
Oscar could go out to a movie.
Saturday was spent going on base;

shopping and eating. Everything
one wants/needs is available on
base.
Sunday was spent shopping
and going on a tram ride (a mile
high) from which you could see
three states and two nations. It
was quite an experience for all the
girls who are not very fond of
heights!! Early Monday morning,
Jenna, Oscar, and Keenan took
the girls to the airport for a 7:30
a.m. flight. After arriving in Dallas,
there was a slight delay in
take off because of freezing fog in
Rapid City. They arrived back in
S.D. to fog and snow so the plane
missed the first landing! This
was a very special trip as Jenna
will be deployed to Afghanistan on
December 8. Keenan will go with
his dad to California. Plans are
Oscar and Keenan will return to
El Paso in May when Oscar
retires from the military.

Take some “me”
time, help others
this holiday season
You’ve heard it dozens of times.
We don’t take enough time for ourselves,
to be able to relax and
enjoy some quiet time. It’s difficult,
with school and work schedules
and now holiday shopping
and preparation. United Blood
Services offers a way to kick back
for an hour and give someone the
best gift of all—by donating blood.
While you are donating life-saving
blood you can review your shopping
list, plan a holiday meal, or
just plain relax!
“It’s a wonderful way to destress
and do something good at
Eunice Meyer
the same time,” says Jessica
Mertz, Donor Recruitment Representative
of United Blood Services
in Rapid City. “You can save a life
while getting in some much needed
down-time.” And now that the
holiday hustle and bustle has
begun, Mertz urges area residents
to make time to save lives by
donating blood. “We encourage
people to donate blood once more
before the end of the year. Donating
in early December is a great
way to get the community’s blood
supply ready for the holidays,” she
says.
Locally it takes up to 185 blood
donations each day to keep up
with hospital patients’ needs. As
we know, hospitals don’t close for
the holidays, and the blood you
donate now can save someone’s life
during the holidays. Is there any
better gift to give?
Potential donors can make an
appointment to give at
www.bloodhero.com or by calling
605-342-8585 in Rapid City, or
605-996-3688 in Mitchell. All
donors will receive a free cholesterol
test.

The report was good food and
entertainment.

Sunday with Margaret and Greg

My neighbor, Kim Djodjic, had
a birthday Sunday. When I asked
how she celebrated, she told me
hubby Mike fixed supper, complete
with birthday cake. Nice
guy, I'd say. Happy birthday, Kim.
Ken and Carmen Miller spent
the weekend in Ft. Morgan, Colo.,
with Ray and Gloria Miller.
Kim Schmidt met daughters
Kayla Hoag and Jaime Schmidt of
Aberdeen in Sioux Falls on Friday
evening and spent the weekend
together Christmas shopping, and
there must have been some eating.
Caught up with Amanda Henrichs,
and she gave me a report of
her Thanksgiving week. On
Wednesday, November 21, Kraig,
Amanda, Blake and Layney traveled
to Sioux Falls. They, along
with Kraig's parents and other
family members gathered at
brother Kurt's home for Thanksgiving.
On black Friday, Kraig
and Amanda spent the night shopping;
their kids went home to
Freeman with their grandparents.
On Friday, they went to Freeman
for another Thanksgiving gathering
at Kraig's parents' home. On
Saturday, they went to Bridgewater
to Kraig's grandma's for more
turkey. On Sunday, Kraig, Amanda
and Blake went to Minneapolis,
while Layney stayed with
grandparents in Freeman. They
visited at the home of Ryan and
Shawn Meyers and got in on
another Thanksgiving; but while
the others ate turkey, the Henrichs
had steak. Wow! Talk about
celebrating Thanksgiving! On
Monday, Blake had doctor
appointments. They went back to
Freeman and then home on Tuesday.
Talked to former Draperite Jim
Halligan on Monday. He told me
their son, Ryan, a pilot in the Air
Force and stationed in N.C., is
home on leave. On Sunday, Jim,
Barb and Ryan, along with
Grandpa Ken and Aunt Linda
Gilbert of Buffalo, went out for
dinner. The Halligan's daughter,
Jessi, is an archeologist working
in Florida, doing underwater
archeology. Both kids graduated
from Jones County High School.
On Friday, Vicki Hagemann,
son Casey Miller and Monica
Reder went to Ft. Collins to the
home of daughter/sister Shawna
and Adam Lizotte and baby Landen.
On Saturday, a party was
held at the Lizotte's to celebrate
Landen's first birthday. He was
born December 3 on his daddy,
Adam's, birthday. I'm guessing
more attention was paid to the little
one. They went back to Rapid
City on Sunday evening. Vicki and
Casey saw their Louder relatives.
They stopped Monday afternoon
for a visit with us and then home
for Casey and back to Yankton for
Vicki.
With the weather so nice, Nelva
and Janet Louder decided to head
for the hills on Friday. That
evening, part of the crew joined
us, and we went out for supper.
On Saturday, we visited over cookies
and coffee with Sonny and
Evelyn Tornow. A cookout was
held at Don and Cara Pearson's
with guests: Brian and Karen; Jay
and Tyler; and the Pearson crew:
Drew and family; Calli, Nick and
Aria; and Dawson. We celebrated
Jay's December 6 birthday with a
cherry dessert. On Sunday, Cara,
Calli and Aria and Janet and
Nelva went out for brunch – due
to football games, the guys
seemed to want to be near tv's. On
our way home, we stopped in
Kadoka for a visit with Dwight.
Oh yeah, I got in some Christmas
shopping, but, wow, it was crowded.
Happy birthday to Wanda
Mathews on Wednesday, December
5. We'll see next week if she
celebrated.
