I’ve seen several this year and they were very good. However, anything religious about them was maybe a song or two that somehow had a verse...
Other than the fun of Halloween, Christmas has to be one of my favorite times of the year. I love the decorations, the lights, the carols, the tree, the excitement and the food. I will never know why anyone waits until Christmas to make fudge and peanut brittle. Tradition, I suppose. One of my favorite Christmas memories was caroling with my church family in Oak. Every year the congregation would get bundled up and climb onto a flatbed trailer covered in small straw bales to be chauffeured all over town singing Christmas hymns at home after...
The 2021 Autumn weather in Nebraska has been very nice. No rain, but mild temperatures and not a lot of wind. However, that all came to a change last Wednesday, Dec. 15.

This reporter isn't sure of records, but many people will...

One point behind . . . OK, maybe they needed two points to win, but that one point on the scoreboard stands out. The L-N Lady Raiders traveled to Friend, Nebraska last week Friday for a single game. In spite of playing with a lot of spirit, they ended up on the low side of the score, 34-35. Yes, the game was that close throughout the struggle.
