I didn’t get to see much of the Chief’s game on Sunday. What I did see was pretty horrifying. At least the 4th quarter wasn’t as bad as the first three. I shall remain a loyal Chiefs fan (and a loyal  Saints fan). This Friday is Valentine’s Day, if you didn’t know. The Hospital Aux

I explained to Davis that Sibley and Thatch Supermarket was in the building where Ehlers is now, Haynes Variety was in the building just west of there and Evans Drugs was downtown when we first

Christmas Parade coming! There are a lot of activities this weekend, but save time for the annual Christmas Parade which begins at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec 14, which by-the-way is Kenny’s birthday. The weather folk say it should be about 50 degrees. But be prepared for anything. Our end of Main street usually gets

Thanksgiving was wonderful. For a few hours on Wednesday evening, the Sun office was turned in to a running, jumping, screaming playground. Five out of six grandkids, ages 7 – 1 can morph into a whirlwind easily. Thursday wasn’t without its challenges. Everything went pretty well until 1⁄2 the sweet potatoes  ended up on the
