Hello! I was able to take most of last week off to putter around the house and take care of some tasks that have gone undone for too long. The weather was great and I had a great time. I may even do it again.

I know I cannot be the only person who feels a little exhausted by all of the debate taking place over a variety of topics right now.

A bit lost in the shuffle of the coronavirus world is the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II.

John Denver once said, “Thank God I’m a country boy.” As much as I think it is a pretty catchy tune, I am not much of a country girl. I will say that it recently dawned on me though, how very thankful I am to live in what many people call “God’s Country.”

I WAS AT my desk in the Press office on Friday, July 3, when most of the staff had the day off. A knock at the door caught my attention so I answered it to discover it was Cal Rolstad.

Last Thursday I was fortunate to be able to attend the Graduation ceremony for Amery High School’s Class of 2020.

So, the summer is half over. Have you done anything fun? How about a trip or at least a day trip, even if it is to your back yard?

COVID-19 has certainly taken its toll on the world. Jobs have changed, the reality of what public education will look like can seem scary no matter how it shakes out and everything and I mean EVERYTHING has turned into a debate.
