From the Editor’s Desk
One of our traditions every single Thanksgiving is making my Grandma Patâs âgreen jell-oâ. Grandma Pat, having been from the south, had a very special version of Thanksgiving dinner that included a corn bread stuffing, and as a child I was fairly convinced that in the south, itâs a real thing to cook everything to the point of being nearly powder.

Falling temps and wind
The roads have been very slippery at times over the past week or so. I know the slick roadways contributed to many crashes during the long Thanksgiving weekend--including some fatal crashes.

Garrison Keillor & Friends: Walking to church on a cold day…
We had a couple of summery days in November in New York but now, thank goodness, summer is over and we can get back to business. Thanksgiving is done and we spent it with talkative friends and since I was brought up to believe itâs impolite to interrupt, I sat through a two-hour dinner saying nothing but âUh-huhâ and âOh, really.â And on Sunday I stepped out into a bitter cold wind and walked to church. It felt good.
