The front of the card has two little Indians giving thanks to the bounty set be- fore them of fruits and vegeta- bles. Inside has 4 little Indians with the Horn of Plenty and the Psalm 100 :4 verse. Greet- ings Sweets! Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving as you gather with friends and loved ones! Janie Tormohlen.

A point of interest is on November 11 at the Oakland City University at a ban- quet, Carroll Edrington will be induct- ed into the Intercollegiate Athlete Hall of Fame. Congrats from all of us at Sweets Column. The Patoka River is almost full from the rain we had last Tuesday into Wednes- day that also changed the temps from cold to warmer temps into the 60's. The weekend came with even warmer temps and more rain on Saturday for a few min- utes. Norm took down the Halloween dec- orations and it just poured down without any warning so he got soaked. Sunday it's in the 70's with lots of south winds that are blowing the leaves off the trees, but later on into Monday we are going to have stormy and tornado weather and the temps with fall again into the 40's during the day. We might have to get the winter coat out or that heavier jacket. Some people go to Brown County to see the fall colors but if you can't travel that far then I hope last week you were out and about in Pike County to see the beautiful fall colors right here. You might be able to see their beauty now if the wind hasn't took all the leaves away. We have seen our two squirrels, and since the walnuts have fallen they have been seen climbing the tree and eating that nut. I also saw a squirrel not too far away from some logs until he heard me say "Well, Hi there" and he took off and hid behind a tree. I had told you all my Mom was here for a week and she had a busy week almost every day. Monday she visited with Ter- ri and Laura. Tuesday, on her birthday, she saw Frieda and the Winslow Seniors, and then was seen with Janice at the Cor- ner Book Shoppe handing out candy plus they had a cake with ice cream for Moms 91st birthday. A fter the 9 p.m. hour, Mom had more cake where she blew out her birthday candles, opened presents and ice cream with Kyana, Laura, Terri Ann, Norm, and I. Friday she went out with Aunt Jean where she saw and got a hug from her niece Lori Goodman Lind, and Sunday she went to church with Laura. From all the kids we saw in Winslow on Halloween, they all had loads of fun and the costumes were spectacular. Laura took Kyana trick or treating in Winslow, Jasper, and Ferdinand while Norm and I handed out treats to the 30 plus yards who decorated for Halloween and we would like to say Thank You so very much. Everyone in my eyes won 1st place, but to pick one I can't. We do have a tie with Shannon and Wendy yards. Did you all see the carved pumpkin named Bob? He was part of the Winslow Mason- ic. To those houses that found a Hallow- een object in or on their door, it's just a small token to say Thank you. Friday the 3rd was Vernon's 73rd birth- day and he planned to spend the evening with the Drumming Group. Norm and I sang to him over the phone. I hope the World Series was won by the team you rooted for and that would be the Houston Astros. Between the Dodg- ers and the Astros, I thought they were both paired evenly through the seven games and it was hard to stay up in the late hours, but Mom and I enjoyed watch- ing the outcome. Saturday was the Petersburg Hard- ware Ladies Night, where over 129 ladies had loads of fun as we found our stars on the scavenger hunt, games of Plinko, Plunger Toss, bucket toss and Toilet Pa- per Toss. The hammer the nail event that I won last year was not to happen this year but we all had a great time. I was lucky in most of the games. The Plung- er toss had a mishap where the wooden handle broke in two pieces so there was a small time out to retrieve another plung- er. Snacks, food, and dessert were in sev- eral spots and most delicious. Laura and I had a great time with all the other la- dies and we saw a few who were here last year and this year they brought anoth- er star with them. The grand prizes will be drawn this week, so I hope to tell you who won next week. If you all missed this year's Ladies Night you missed a great two hours of fun and the enjoyable time with other ladies. Thank you to all the Pe- tersburg Hardware family for this time and we all had an enjoyable time of fun and laughter. Mom left Monday to go back home in Illinois and we didn't get a lot done, but we did have a full week of activities to do. We will miss Mom but Christmas isn't too far away until we see each other again. Terri Ann and Ted, along with some other couples from Church, left Friday until Sunday to the East Coast of South Carolina. They drove there and back. The chain saw has a new chain for this year's wood supply so now to find the wood to cut and store in the two lean-to so we can keep warm at the Cabin. Lots of leaves to mulch or bag for com- post, so if your child wants to rake the leaves in a pile and then jump into them, let them. It's fun. The lights are about to dim on this weeks ramblings but keep an eye on family and friends, slow down, and see all your surroundings, and always smile, wave, and say Hi to everyone you see this week.

With that said, I have accepted the Agricul- ture and Natural Resource Educator position in Posey County. My last day with Gibson County will be Nov. 10. I will begin in Posey County on Nov. 13. The clientele in Gibson Coun- ty have been ex- cellent. I have enjoyed work- ing with the Ex- tension Board. What the Park Board has accomplished since its in- ception is outstanding. All of the boards and commit- tees I have had the pleasure to serve on were productive with excellent leadership. The farmers here in Gibson County are productive, con- servation-minded, and sus- tainable. Going forward, I will speak very positive- ly of my time here in Gib- son County. The decision to take the Posey County posi- tion was ultimately person- al, as the family farm has needs I will be more able to fulfill in the new role. Lisa Bloodworth was hired in August as a part- time program assistant in Agriculture and Natural Re- sources at the Gibson Coun- ty office. This hire was stra- tegic, as she will be able to plan programs and answer calls in the interim until a new educator is hired. Al- so, she will be able to as- similate the next educator to programming needs in Gibson County. Per County Extension Director duties, Lisa Wilson, Health and Human Sciences Educa- tor, has been asked to take over those responsibilities upon my departure. Con- tinuing their duties in the Gibson County Purdue Ex- tension Office are Andi Ice, office manag- er; Jane Lowry, 4-H Program Assistant; Rel- la Bush, Sec- retary; Meg- an Hoffherr, 4-H Youth De- velopment Ed- ucator; Brooke Haldeman, 4-H Youth De- velopment Educator; Jen- ny Ridao, Nutrition Edu- cation Program Assistant; and Andrew Hayes, Com- munity Wellness Coordi- nator. The Gibson Coun- ty Purdue Extension office remains strong and ready to handle the needs of the community. I am grateful for the op- portunities, support, and relationships built over the last seven years. Thank you. My writing will contin- ue after beginning in Mount Vernon. Should the editors of the newspaper which you read deem the article of in- terest to you, perhaps she or he will publish an arti- cle or two.
